[Maine-birds] Sick Birds

I told my friend I would contact others about her sick birds to see if anyone has any input or answers. She lives in the woods in Troy and is fastidious about keeping the feeders clean. The birds are PURPLE FINCHES and AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES. They hang around the feeders lethargically. She picks them up and cleans away junk around their bills and cleans their poopy behinds, then releases them but they do not seem to improve. She hasn't found any dead ones yet. The problem has been going on all summer. Does anyone have an explanation? What should she do? Thanks.
