Yesterday, I saw a B-C Chickadee at our birdbath, feathers fluffed out, =
perched. This morning we found him dead in the bird bath. (Don't worry, =
I cleaned out the birdbath right away.) Right now, there is another one =
that appears the same at our birdbath. I also noted that the flight was =
not as strong and bouncy, like that of a regular chickadee, but more =
weak, flimsy and less direct. I am wondering what disease this is, and =
how is it passed on from one bird to another. Has anyone else seen this? =
I am concerned about my chickadees!
