Last weekend I was sitting on my sailboat watching tv when I heard....splat...all the way down the port side of the deck. Then about an hour later....splat...all the way down the starboard side. Got up the next morning and my whole deck was covered in bird. We call it...getting birded. One was a seagull but the starboard side was from an Osprey that has been living at the marina. It was obvious because it was blood and guts and full of hair. It’s been hunting rats as well as fish. I felt like I needed a mask to clean it all up. lol

“The organism is harmless to the vast majority of people and rarely causes disease in humans.”
...
So the droppings aren’t the main cause but they make a great click bait headline.

Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii. The species grow on pigeon droppings and on other media. Usually harmless, but can be a sever issue when causing infection.

I walked through about 200 yards of crow shit on the way into the hospital. There were easily 1,000 crows that congregated every night in the trees over our parking lot.
Yeah, thats healthy.

Or possibly Histoplasmosis.

Only the main cause of the deaths. Otherwise, totally irrelevant
