You can't attempt to fix something without a thorough knowledge of how it works...so, yes, drug manufacturers know exactly what nutritional deficiencies cause various diseases. Their job is not to supply the public with this information, but to create a saleable drug that can alleviate symptoms. But alleviating a symptom doesn't mean the "cause" has been addressed. Non-organic "drugs" can mask symptoms, but rarely repair the underlying cause of the problem.

Why might eastern House Finches have been the earliest victims of the disease?

House Finch Disease Frequently Asked Questions
House Finches are not native to eastern North America. Until the 1940s, House Finches were found only in western North America. Some birds were released to the wild in the East after pet stores stopped illegal sales of "Hollywood Finches," as they were commonly known to the pet bird trade. The released birds successfully bred in the wild and spread rapidly throughout eastern North America.

Why has the disease spread so rapidly among House Finches?

House Finch Disease Frequently Asked Questions
The House Finch population is large, and the birds tend to move together in highly mobile foraging flocks. Therefore, diseased individuals are constantly entering new areas, increasing the chance of infecting other birds in that area. Also, some infected birds do not die from the disease, which increases the probability of its transmission to other individuals. Lastly, current evidence suggests that infected birds do not acquire immunity to future infections.

One of my finches chases one or more other finches around the flight. What should I do?

Finch Aviary - Care - Finch FAQ
If the chasing was instigated by introduction of a new bird(s), give it a little time to see if things settle down. Make sure, however, that no one's health is in jeopardy and that all birds have access to food/water. Adding extra feeding stations may help. Also, rearranging perches and such may help as everyone will need to reestablish their "territories" at the same time. In other cases, or if the fighting is too rough or does not settle down with time, remove the aggressor.

I can't get my Gouldian finches to bathe?

Lady Gouldian Finch .com - Frequently Asked Questions
Most finches love to bathe. I have so many Gouldians that I can not fill the bath water dishes as often as I should. I fill a plant mister bottle as follows: a shot glass mixture of ½ Listerine and ½ white vinegar to 1 quart of water. At first the spray frightens them. However, after several applications they learn to love it! Australia is the driest continent in the world. So we all know that the wildlife there exists on very dry feed all year round.

How long does it take my finches to get better after I apply SCATT?

Lady Gouldian Finch .com - Frequently Asked Questions
The lightly to moderately effected birds show dramatic improvement in 24-48 hours. Severely infected birds can take weeks to bounce back. Treating with antibiotic for secondary infections on the lesions in the air sacs and lungs is important if they are severely infected. Based on my experience the propagation of airsac mites is very slow, taking several months between infestation and symptoms. Most Gouldians will not become debilitated by airsac mites until they are near death.
