Saw this page on the RSPB site.

The following is information on the commoner diseases in garden birds, how to recognise symptoms and how to reduce the risk of these infections.

The page goes on to give information on the following:

Salmonella
Trichomoniasis (canker)
Aspergillosis
Escherichia coli
Avian tuberculosis

Here is a page with information of most of the avian diseases and infections to look out for.

It includes:

Salmonellosis
Colibacillosis
Yersiniosis
Pasteurellosis
Chlamydiosis
Trichomoniasis
Warts (viral papillomas)
Avian pox
Aspergillosis

And how to minimise the risks of spreading the infection.

Avian Pox appears to be on the rise, have seen several photos around the web of Dunnocks and most recently a sparrow with an apparent infect.

This is a highly infectious disease and if spotted, you will need to take certain precautions to prevent the spread.
