That is a good idea, Hummer <3 Lots of people want to leave them up in hopes the ill bird will recover. Unfortunately, it spreads it faster. Taking it down altogether is never a bad plan

If I do find infected birds I better take it down for a few weeks rather than just wash it because the infected birds could come back.

According to my professor, it is airborne. As in, particles can be taken through ventilation, etc.

Outdoor bird feeders that are dishwasher safe can even just be put through the washer. Hot water and wildlife safe soap, yes. Rinse thoroughly, no soap should remain.

How would you recommend washing them? Dawn dish soap and warm water?

The CDC didn't say anything about it being an airborne - just that it spreads thru direct contact with body fluids from infected animals.

@Versa, I havent had time to refill the feeder lately anyways, but I will keep my eye out.

Hummer,
If you start finding ill birds around your feeder (swelling, gasping/wheezing, nasal and eye discharge, etc.) please consider washing them to keep your healthy flock safe <3

I have thought about whether or not I should take down my bird feeder, but I guess bird flu isnÂ’t a worry in my state right now.

Pines,
It's genuinely awful. Before all of the avian flu stuff started, eggs were already decently restricted. Now it's down the drain.

Wolf,
We can only farm eggs from free range chickens, so a lot of our chicken facilities are having to redo their chicken enclosures and cannot sell eggs.

Exactly Penta, that's a great comparison :) I've done it enough to know over here 😆

Ugh that sucks, I'm sorry you guys are dealing with that. I didn't know CO had that law

That being said... Avian flu has existed since long before our recent Covid troubles, so it's... Actually kind of unlike Covid, other than being a fast-spreading illness. Except this one is airborne too. Birds have very, very sensitive respiratory tracts.

Ah lol maybe you could inform me a little better then? I'm sorta confused as to what it actually is, and how much as risk my flock is at here
Versailles
07:52:42 Versa
I'm aware lol. I specialize and am licensed in birds. I'm actually terrified the avian flu is going to hit MY birds, as in my pets.

However the other problem is the law Colorado passed, for free range chicken eggs only. We have a double bottleneck going here.

It's because of the Avian flu going around, their calling it the "COVID" of chickens, I believes it's also been impacting the dairy industry. We are lucky our girls are still laying about 6 eggs a day
