2. How to Protect Birds at Your Feeders

Pine Siskins are flocking birds that frequent feeders during this season. Salmonella is a bacteria that can live in the intestines of people and animals and gets spread via feces. For reasons that are not fully understood, Pine Siskins are particularly susceptible to salmonella. When large numbers of Pine Siskins congregate day after day, particularly during the stressful winter months, salmonella can quickly spread through a local population. It is not uncommon at this time of year to find sick or dead Pine Siskins around feeders.

There are important steps that you can take to protect Pine Siskins, other birds, and your family if you see signs of this illness.
