Unfortunately over the years, I have seen my share of this disease (finches only). The good news is that the occurance has become less and less each year, with this year being the best. I keep my seed hulls picked up and refill my feeders every 2-3 days, dumping what little if any is left. Besides doing that and cleaning my feeders in a 1:10 bleach solution, especially after I see a bird with the disease, is there anything else that I can do?

Thanks
