Pigeon poop carries harmful bacteria that forms in the dried droppings, You can get seriously ill from any of their droppings but the most harm is in the dried form. If it is a low amount of droppings you will most likely not be affected in anyway if there is ventilation and you are heathly. If the place is saturated with old droppings you MUST wear protection. The harm is when the dust from the droppings comes in contact with mucous membranes which means eyes, nose, mouth etc. You need to wear a NIOSH approved respirator, the one that covers your nose and mouth and had the filters on the sides. Wear gloves and sealed eye protection, try not to expose your skin too much. Decon your self after words. If you contact this stuff you could become infected with menagitis that attacks your central nervous system and can cause death in a matter of 24 hours if not treated instantly. If you get treated you still may risk neurological damage, lung damage or other side effects. This is not a joke, take a very militant aproach to protecting yourself, if your empoyer is calling you lazy or a wimp cause you dont want to risk it or wont provide you the protection QUIT NOW. This is your life, this is similar to working around heavy metals or trying to avoid Mercury contamination. When in doubt, leave the area until you are confident that you have good protection.

No. Pigeon feathers are non-toxic, although they can carry disease and parasites.

No. In fact, in some areas in the world it has been used to make other things. I know in the middle ages it was collected and used.

Duck droppings are harmful if allowed to dry and harbor a mould that when ingested will cause long term illness. Mainly small children are at risk.
