I have had a young goldfinch with what looks to be conjunctivitis at my feeder lately.

I'm wondering whether goldfinches get conjunctivitis the way House Finches have been-- my cousin found a goldfinch that looked to be suffering from something similar to the conjuncitivitis I've seen in House Finches, though I couldn't see details from the photo. I'd never run into a goldfinch with this problem before. Does anyone know about this?
