Bird and Pigeon Health Concerns
Pigeons and other pest birds can carry disease-causing organisms over long distances and leave them wherever they roost. Most of the risk comes from droppings. Histoplasmosis, a lung infection, comes from a fungus that grows in soil and debris rich in bird or bat droppings. Cryptococcosis is caused by a yeast often found in dried pigeon droppings and is most serious for people with weakened immune systems. Birds can also spread psittacosis and Salmonella, and their nests often hold bird mites and other parasites. The greatest danger comes when dried droppings are swept or scraped and the dust ends up in the air you breathe.
