Juvenile Greenfinch (Chloris chloris) on the left and juvenile Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) on the right, taken by Rebecca Dickson at a feeding station at RSPB Loch Leven. Juvenile finches undergo a partial moult at five weeks of age by replacing their head, body and many of the covert feathers, but not their flight feathers. A recent decline in numbers of greenfinches has been linked to an outbreak of trichomonosis, a parasite-induced disease that prevents the birds from feeding properly. To stop the spread, bird feeders should be kept clean.
