When I was first diagnosed I had a count of over 200,tried lots of masks that were never really suitable,tried the ones from the BHW and they were no use in heavy dust,too late for me now as I am on oxygen 24 hours a day but if I had the chance again I would use a full face aircap mask expensive I know but they are the best,but the ones I did find that helped a bit were PP3 filtered fabric ones but had to get rid of all the birds as well.

I wear a mask when cleaning out but often forget to put it on if am just pottering about or basketing,
I have a very productive cough in the morning,just had chest X-rays and got the all clear with them the nurse who did my breathing tests,
Used to attend Blackpool show to carry out PFL tests on her recamondation I have got myself an air stream helmet and will give ,
That a go but don't ignore it,it will not go away on its own , I also got a. Henry vacuum and I have it on as I clean out,
I hope am not filling you with dread because I can't bear the thought of the alternative good luck,

Tammy, can I ask, is your current condition due to pigeon lung or is there more involved?

You travel long distances in the car with the birds. That is a really high risk time. You and several birds in an enclosed space. You should also consider wearing a mask in the car and maximising the air flow through air con. Don't open the window as that causes turbulence.
3 drops of olbas oil in the mask helps your breathing short term.
Use a different vehicle for social outings if possible.
