This is a disease that mainly effects finches and was thought to be reducing but is back this Spring. Can I please encourage you to clean all your feeders and put them up in a different place - to avoid ground contamination. If you are finding dead birds in your garden then stop feeding for two weeks which will disperse the birds and stop cross infections.

Good info- it is also important to keep bird baths clean too!
