Most people agree that bird droppings are an eyesore but they would be horrified to find out just how accurate the headline is.

Ocular histoplasmosis, a fungal infection that eats away at the eyeball is just one of over sixty diseases that birds can transfer to humans. Their droppings are often the vehicle for transmission as they dry out, turn to dust, become airborne, and are absorbed by the mucus membranes of unknowing victims.

Casual observers recognize that the appearance of bird droppings lowers the perceived value of property.
