    Default Bird Disease and how to help

    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.
