I would advise that the pigeon poo is removed prior to starting any work in the first place by an approved contractor.

Pigeon excrement pose a significant danger to human. Pigeon excrement have been found to be a source of disease organism such as Crytococcosis, Histoplasmosis. I would I advise anyone working in such area to use the following PPE:
1. Air Purifying Respirator
2. Disposable Coveralls
3. Disposable boots,
4. Disposable gloves and hat
Please treat disposable clothing believed to be contaminated with disease agents as an infectious waste.
