No idea about the birds, but I don't think pigeons keep people awake at night, do they?

It's called "histoplasmosis"... Usually infects people who have been around either bat or bird droppings. I believe it is caused by a spore that invades your lungs and causes chronic lung disease which can then turn fatal... So yes, this should definitely be considered. I actually have heard of a young man who was infected while living in a city apartment where pigeons sat around on the window ledge.

You mentioned that she complained that the birds were keeping her awake at night. If you live in a city, pigeons can be a major PITA. But they inflict themselves on everyone, so I don't really think this is a clue. A better one is that they kept her awake. From what I've read, it seems fairly clear that she'd had trouble sleeping for a long time. Why? My guess is that it was the herbal stuff that she was taking. I have several highly intelligent friends who insist that their sleep disturbances cannot POSSIBLY be related to their intake of caffeine or other stimulants. And Edwarda seems to have been into a lot of that kind of thing. Does it have a cumulative effect?
