Hi Aliza,

From Google ; " Paramyxovirus strains are generally capable of affecting other avian species including poultry. ... Human infection with this virus is rare and usually occurs only in people who have close, direct contact with infected birds. The virus causes mild flu-like symptoms." and "One of a group of RNA viruses that are predominantly responsible for acute respiratory diseases and are usually transmitted by airborne droplets."

As recommended above, best to wash your hands after handling the pigeon. Also, since it is transmitted through the air, you might want to wear a mask to be more safe.

I'm curious; what do you mean 'found'?...is this your pet pigeon? a rescue?

Either ways, stay safe and Good Luck :)
