Subject: question about dead birds


I live in Hideaway, TX which is about 10 miles NW of Tyler.  I have a birding 
friend who called me.  She said she had been having 50-100 pine siskin on her 
patio for well over a month.  She's been watching and some will start to puff 
up for a day, then look weak, then they find them dead.  She has seen at least 
6 in the last couple of weeks.  Any ideas?

I asked her about her seed and she said she only bought the best, mostly the 
kind that's to leave a clean patio, hulled sunflower, etc.  She keeps it in the 
frig until she uses it all.  So it doesn't sound like that's the problem.

Would really appreciate the wisdom of texbirds.
