Could be.
There was an article in the paper a couple of months ago about a girl in Fredericton who they figure contracted a serious fungul disease cryptococcal meningitis from local pigeon. A found a link about this here http://telegraphjournal.canadaeast.com/rss/article/1400697
Might have to do with urban falcon diet of Flying K-D? I don't know if falcons can be carriers of this disease or if its fatal to them or how prevalent this disease in in pigeons. Maybe TPC knows?? ???

Could be a location near a pigeon roost colony - breathing aparatus is a requirement if it is. Histoplasmosis isn't something anyone wants to play around with!
Eye-spy:

Are they worried about bird cooties ?

So her name certainly suits her! ;)

Maybe that's why they had that gear on, nobody wants to get gouged by their talons. OUCH!!
