Bird illness at my house

Bird illness at my house
By – 10:31 am
Hi,I had two female House Finches and possibly one Lesser Goldfinch in myyard in Sabre Springs this morning showing serious signs of illness.It’s not Finch eye disease. I know what that looks like. I’m concernedabout bird flu. No way to know if that’s what it is but I am sadlyerring on the side of caution and have taken down my feeders and emptiedmy bird baths.Both House Finches were fluffed and sitting a lot. They were eating, butone was either trying to vomit or doing something similar. Didn’t seeanything come back up. One of them was also jerkily/uncontrollablybobbing it’s back end. I know the jerky movements for bird flu aresupposed to be of the head and neck, but I’ve never seen a sick bird dowhat this bird was doing. The Lesser Goldfinch was just fluffed, but waseating.Lisa RubySabre Springs– Lisa RubySabre Springs
