Yes, this spread to goldfinches in the 1990s - I did some reading on
this last year when I had a sick (house) finch at my feeder. Treating
the birds is controversial but possible. Here are some links to
information on this disease:

Subject: [va-richmond-general] Conjunctivitis in Goldfinches
Someone called the RAS phone # wondering if there's anything that can be
done about conjunctivitis in goldfinches. She's wondering if they
"picked one up" could it be treated. She says she's losing goldfinches
to this. Does anyone know anything about this disease in goldfinches? I
knew there was a problem with other finches but didn't realize it was
affecting goldfinches. Robin Ruth
