Adding these 13 plants, not bird feeders, could save the birds Jeanette Marantos © (Tammy Kokjohn) A Lawrence s goldfinch. Finches are very social feeders and tend to be hit by diseases at backyard feeding stations, hence seeding plants are a safer food source. (Tammy Kokjohn) Attention wildlife fans: If you want to help support wild bird populations, you might want to rethink the bird feeder. Because of a vicious salmonellosis outbreak this winter, wildlife officials in multiple Western states issued warnings earlier this year that so many birds were dying, the safest plan was to take down all our feeders, at least temporarily. This would prevent birds from congregating and spreading the disease. Those who kept their feeders up were urged to clean and disinfect them regularly. In San Diego County, the outbreak had the biggest impact on the songbirds known as pine siskins, a member of the goldfinch family that winters in the area but nests farther north.
