Thats kinda weird though, those birds dont eat the same things. What kind of feeder would be spreading it to all those different kinds of birds? Sounds like something else is afoot.
Yes. So what else do they have in common? Water and air is about it. I live in SW Pennsylvania and there are birds all over in our neighborhood. We have a pair of Mourning Doves nesting in one of our hanging flower baskets on the front porch. I water the flowers and momma dove just looks at me.
That’s what I’m wondering. They don’t eat the same stuff at the feeders.
However, I will say this. If I lost a few Starlings and House Sparrows, I wouldn’t shed a tear.
They don’t think it’s spreading in the food. They’re not sure what’s causing it, so they’re asking folks to take down their feeders to keep birds from congregating.
