Check the ventilation in your loft. You need a current of fresh air rising up through the loft all the time. And you should not be able to smell pigeons.  And follows stb's advice, he is spot on. And you should know that these respiratory diseases can affect humans.

if its one eye cold its usually just one eye, does your bird have both eyes watery, have you got new untreated (paint etc)  wood in your loft, sometimes this can cause problems with eyes and  and nostrols watering, new wood and some shavings you must watch, a good coat of masonary paint is good.

Hi Fifer yes both eyes are watery. there is no new paintwork in the loft or anything new at all

With one eyed cold you usually see small bubles in the infected eye as well.

check the clef  for signs of   linseed  stuck in the  clef  as  that can  make the bird   scratch  its beak and its eye
