I have just watched the 'red button' lunchtime show with Brett Westwood & the first half hour covered all garden bird diseases & how to deal with them ... If you can bring this up on iplayer it could well help with your current problem, also there was a link to a 'health' website ... If I can remember & find it I will post the link here!
