Diseases in Goldfinches

16 years ago

I have a friend who lives about 5 miles away that has experienced a lot of dead and dying goldfinches in her yard. She feeds them niger thistle seed. She is very conscientious about cleaning her feeder and keeping seed raked up off the ground, and buys good seed from the feed store. She is about to abandon feeding the finches because she thinks she is causing them to get sick. I know there was a disease that nuthatches were spreading for a while, but I can't find anything on finches.

Is any one else noticing sick finches at their feeders?
