Guest strapper Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 im hearing of this illness still appearing all round. the tell tail signs is watery droppings with a string like dropping in it. this is what im describing below. how many have seen this and thought nothing of it? i get loads of pms over this than any other subject...and not just on this site. its appearing more and more.....i cant find any news on this anywhere.
Leroy Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 i seem to recall someone saying that this needs reporting to Defra if discovered in your loft so that could explain why people would be reluctant to openly admit having birds suffering from it, i maybe wrong. also some people may not notice what it is, they notice a sickly looking bird and immediately dispose of it before the tell tale signs become too obvious Lee
