Correct. Pigeons spread Cryptococcus species, One woman in New Brunswick lost her sight because of it. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/blind-woman-warns-of-pigeon-poop-exposure-danger-1.1263247.

Far from true.
I’ve saved two pigeons that had hurt wings and couldn’t fly. Didn’t know what to expect when I approached the first but they are the living definition of docile. Pigeons weigh next to nothing. They tuck their head into their feathers and go completely still once in your hands as though just begging you not to hurt them.

Somehow I don’t think a rat would react the same way. Rats do things like get in front of large crowds and say, “Vote your conscience”.
