What disease?

Picture of what I think is a young greenfinch. Appears to be much Larger than anything else. Does not fly away until you get very close. Also appears to have a bald head. What should I do?

    Hi Waterman it looks like it has a case of feather mites that is causing the loss of feather on its head.

    If it is fluffed up and lethargic it could also have Trichomonosis have a read here www.bto.org/.../trichomonosis

    You may have to watch it around food and water as it can pass the disease on, if it was me I would be shooing it away when I saw it just in case.
