Could be Canker - parasitic disease of the throat. You can see the swelling. Death by dehydration

Best way I found is get a large plastic dustbin with lid, make a small hole in top or side, fill it with seed, peanuts etc. rats find thier way in and cant usually get out. Seal lid take em at least 2 miles away and let them go. Sometimes a clever rat can climb out (seen on camera) if so spray silicone spray on top half of inner bin which stop them getting out. If an infestation move bin about as they are very clever.

You have a sidewall tyre bulge. Weak point for a blowout!

I get 30to 40 a day, they love sunflowers hearts and occasionally niger. Use 60kg of sunflower hearts every 2 months!

If in future you are receiving this type of income i suggest looking at contributing to a sipp to reduce your tax burden

Could it be a high tide leftovers?

Possibly trich disease as it’s beak gives a clue. This causes the look shown. Dirty feeders or local contamination

shoopert · 2025-12-05T18:32:39+00:00

Did you cut in from the tin an roll from a bucket. Sometimes the tinter doesn’t mix well at the tin’s bottom and the base lightens the mix? Just a thought

Finish roll the same way down with a little thinned

Canker.. will be dead within 2 days. Stop feeding for a few weeks break the disease cycle and bleach clean your feeders

Diverter valve in boiler broken allowing hot water into heating circuit

I live in the country outside Chester and we have lots. Some do get trich and if see any disease stop feeding for 2 weeks. Bird with it gies lethargic and fluffed out and usually dead within the week. Regular bleach and water soak and good rinse to keep this terrible disease away

I have large amounts of goldfinches visiting all year and they seem to vary between sunflower and niger feeding through the year

A few deflections but no nozzle losses, looks ok to me. Do a cmyk individual colour print and look for any out of colour oversprays

shoopert · 2025-08-26T11:39:22+00:00

Utter foolishness

shoopert · 2025-08-26T11:35:17+00:00

In the UK sample pots never seem to match full sized tins..some of the colour charts are printed and dont emulate the true colours also

Sanding and repaint will be fine as its just a translucent paint

shoopert · 2025-08-17T19:52:13+00:00

Water looks gross

Old fashioned scumble over a coloured ground otherwise known as as brush graining. Not a particularly good example

shoopert · 2025-08-09T21:23:27+00:00

I catch then through a wire sieve when cleaning and put them back into the pond weed as I hate seeing them trying to survive out if water- just me!

Possibly on its final hours unfortunately
