We encourage people to take down their feeders for at least a few days to encourage sick birds to disperse. While the feeders are down, clean them thoroughly. You can use a dishwasher on a hot setting, or wash them with soap and boiling water, a diluted bleach solution, or a weak vinegar solution (10%). Be sure to remove any build-ups of dirt around the food openings. Rinse the feeders thoroughly and let them dry completely before rehanging them. Also rake underneath the feeders to remove old seed and bird droppings. Be sure to continue to clean your feeders every week or so. If sick birds return, avoid using feeders with big ports that the birds can rub their heads against.
