Is this Avian Pox
Hey everyone,
I noticed this finch visiting my yard in the Greater Montreal area and caught a clear picture of a round, fleshy nodule growing right on its left foot digit.
From what I've researched, it looks highly consistent with the dry/cutaneous form of Avian Pox, but I wanted to get a second opinion from the community here.
If this is likely avian pox, I plan to take down my feeders and birdbaths for a few weeks to let the local population disperse and prevent it from spreading.
Would love to hear if anyone agrees with this ID.
