Wild Birds and Your IRN

Post by effekt »

Hey there, I've been thinking about a random question lately and I figured I'd share to see if anyone else has feedback.

I live in southern California so my birds get to spend plenty of time outdoors, soaking up sun on the patio.

There are sparrows that come around to pick at the millet my birds leave on the ground. I wonder if the wild birds might pose a threat to my birds? Like if they might be carrying disease? I know many bird diseases are airborne and highly infectious, so I wonder if this should be a concern?

Obviously, being the patio there is plenty of air flow, and I know that the sun kills some bird viruses. So this isn't red alert status on my list of things to be worried about, but I thought maybe getting a discussion going could prove beneficial.

What are your thoughts?
