>From Bev Propen 12/29 So I should rephrase the description I gave of the house finch eye disease. A more accurate description would be that it is a respiratory infection that shows up as progressively worsening conjunctivitis for the house finches. Some do recuperate on their own, some die and occasionally those that can be caught can be given medication. I did have a goldfinch with an infected eye at my feeder this year. **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)
