    Had a couple of sick Chaffinches back in the Autumn and stopped feeding, sterilized all the feeders and baths. That knocked it on the head. And then yesterday a sick looking Collard Dove turned up. I could see it having difficulty swallowing feed and then it started sneezing - I could see liquid spraying out of its beak all over the food on the ground. Out with the Jeyes Fluid again, cleaned up as much feed as I could, all the usual precautions. I'm happy that I have been keeping things hygienic in my garden, following all the guidelines from Birdwatch, RSPB etc. Assuming this bird was infected somewhere else (withering looks at the pigeon fancier a few doors down and all the spilt feed in his garden..)

    I'm really p****d off to have this again:mad::(
