Thank you all for your comments. I didn't realise this was a sick bird. We have Black-headed grosbeaks here and House finches. I only have the one feeder and shall scrub it out immediately! The bird seems to be doing alright, she has water, food and shelter within feet of the feeder. I think there is nothing I can do for her. - Dave

Brenda,
I've not heard of any good treatment for small birds like house finches. Consultation with a wildlife vet (which I'm not) might be in order.

Is there anything he can do to help this bird? I thought there was something you could use on chickens that may help?

Dave and others,
Looks like a house finch with a case of pox. You may want to clean your feeder lest other birds catch it.

Hello CObirders,
This bird has been hanging around for a week now on my feeder. I've got lots of bad photos (shot through a window) and have studied the bird closely. But I still cannot identify it. Can anyone tell me what this bird is (I think it is a youngster). Thanks – Dave Hyde/nr Drake, Larimer Cty.
