Some of our favorite bird species commonly visit bird feeders. These
feeding stations may be an important factor in their well-being during
some segments of their life cycle. However, poorly maintained feeding
stations may contribute to the occurrence of infectious disease and
mortality. In recent years there have been unprecedented reports of
songbird mortality events. The National Wildlife Health Center of the
U.S. Geological Survey conducts research on diseases in wildlife, their
causes, and methods of preventing or reducing disease outbreaks.
Protect the well being of our feathered
friends by establishing a clean bird feeding environment. You
can help stop the spread of bird disease using Scoot®
Bird Feeder Cleaner.
By taking the following eight relatively easy steps, you can prevent or
minimize problems at your feeders.
1. Give them space - Avoid crowding by providing ample feeder space.
Lots of birds using a single feeder looks wonderful, but crowding is a
key factor in spreading disease. If birds have to jostle each other to
reach the food, they are crowded. This crowding also creates stress,
which may make birds more vulnerable to disease.
2. Clean up waste - Keep the feeder area clean of waste food and
droppings.
3. Make feeders safe - Provide safe feeders without sharp points or
edges. Even small scratches and cuts will allow bacteria and viruses to
infect otherwise healthy birds.
4. Keep feeders clean - Regularly clean feeders. Use 1oz. Scoot®
Bird Feeder Cleaner per gallon. Make enough solution to immerse
an empty feeder completely for 1 hour for plastic or metal
feeder, 2 hours for normal soiled wood, and 3 hours for heavy soiled
wood. Rinse & allow to
air dry. Once or twice a month should do, but weekly cleaning may be
needed
if you notice sick birds at your feeders.
5. Use good food - Discard food that smells musty, is wet, looks moldy
or has fungus growing on it. Disinfect any storage container that holds
spoiled food as well as the scoop used to fill feeders.
6. Prevent contamination - Keep rodents out of stored food. Mice can
carry and spread some bird diseases without being affected themselves.
7. Act early - Don’t wait to act until you see sick or dead birds. With
good prevention, you’ll seldom find sick or dead birds at your feeders.
8. Spread the word - Encourage your neighbors who feed birds to follow
the same precautions. Birds normally move among feeders and can spread
diseases as they go. The safest bird feeders will be those in
communities where neighbors cooperate with equal concern for the health
of the birds.
