Pigeons do not migrate and if the children are born there they will NEVER leave unless food, water or shelter is removed. Pigeon Feces can contain 31 pathogens including histoplamosis and salmonella. I have had histoplasmosis as a result of inhalation near Pigeon feces and you do not want it. That being said if the pigeons just moved in for say a couple of weeks and there is only two or so there is next to zero risk in contracting any of the diseases.

Thanks!
