It's terribly heartbreaking and cleanliness is so important. I've only seen it in House Finches and they eat out of all types of our feeders...trays, tubes, screens and also spilled seed on the ground. I don't see it often, but I wish there was an antibiotic or something you could mix into the seed to prevent it altogether. :-(

This little ground squirrel was trying to look like a tough guy (not too convincing unless you're the size of a cricket!). I thought he looked cute.
