    I don't know the answer but I found it a few weeks ago on social media in some groups I follow.

    Does this mean we should take our hummingbird and oriole feeders down?

    No need to remove the hummingbird feeders. That I saw. Orioles are probably fine too, as they don't eat seeds.

    Well the measure(s) is to minimize songbirds congregating and sharing visited spots and passing whatever the disease is to each other. So the oriole feeder should go. It's not like they can wear ineffective masks and clean their feetsies constantly with Purell.
    Maybe we should take down all the electric lines too.
