Rain’s coming to the UK — a welcome relief after a dry spell — but bird lovers need to watch out: wet, crowded feeders could become disease hotspots. With birds gathering closely in damp, warm conditions, germs like trichomoniasis can spread fast through saliva, moldy seeds, or dirty water. The RSPB urges weekly feeder cleanings with hot soapy water and disinfectant, full drying before refilling, and avoiding composting damp food. Rotate feeder locations, pause feeding if you spot sick birds (fluffed-up, lethargic, trouble swallowing), and report cases to Garden Wildlife Health. Your kindness might be saving lives — if you keep it hygienic.
