Are its feathers fluffed out? If so, it probably is ill.  When it leaves, I 
would carefully clean the feeder.

[cayugabirds-l] Bird on our feeder

2018-11-05 Thread Deborah Schmidle
This bird has been sitting on our feeder with its head tucked out of sight for 
the last 20 minutes or so. It is breathing but I’ve never seen this kind of 
behavior before. Has anyone seen something like this?

We are wondering if it is ill.

Thanks,

Deb
