I am concerned with the discussions here on Finch disease and would like to
know if anyone has a suggestion other than chlorine bleach for disinfecting
bird feeders. I really do my best to avoid household hazardous products
due to the environmental damage they cause. I'd like to find an
environmentally friendly alternative. I currently just wash the feeders
with hot soapy water -- using biodegradable soap of course. :- )
