In a sense this is the problem we face - the document suggested by achingknees does not mention the specific hazard.
My info from the manufacturer was that a full respirator with an independent oxygen supply was unneccessary and a mask with suitable filter would be sufficient. (I dont mean those disposable 30p jobs).
In the case of pigeons I found a lot of general comments about pigeons being a problems but not enough info about the specifics.
For example birds under stress will shed more of the organism; similarly causing pigeons in large number to flock causes a traffic hazard. Although in fact no explanation was given.
