This has little to do with your homing pigeons if that is your concern.

No concern really, Ezzy. Just an informational post for those interested. Although, I do have an friend who became legally blind at an early age from bird poop dust. He used to play as a kid in a 3rd floor attic that had feral pigeons in it for years and used to sweep the poop with a broom while it was dry. Not a good idea.

Have to disagree EZ, handling pigeons is a concern for people no matter what their use of them.
