“Blown up” chaffinch
Posted: Wed Feb 21, 2018 9:04 am
Have had a chaffinch wandering around our garden for the past two days looking as if he,s been blown up like a balloon.
Am sure there,s something wrong with him. He can only move quite slowly. A disease of some kind?
Any thoughts ? Not much I can do for the poor chap. He’s still looking around for food and I,ve put some out but wonder if it’s this disease which causes birds’ throats to close up so they can,t swallow.
I don’t like it when nature goes wrong in my garden, I like it to be all sweetness and light!
