I hope your bird is still alive. First: for future reference, here's a site with symptoms listed and possible causes for them as well as treatment options. Chevita is one of the top companies in the world providing pigeon medications.
http://www.chevita.com/tauben/e-index3.html
As for your bird, sneezing is often a sign of infectious catarrh. The only problem with this site is that the recommended medications are listed as the Chevita brand name (obviously), but it's fairly easy to find the generic chemical name of the product indicated. For example:
tylosin+ / chlortetracyclin+ may work and chlotetracyclin can sometimes be found in blister packs in tropical fish stores, at least in the States.
Sneezing might also be caused by wet canker (trichomoniasis) and for that you can use Flagyl (which is often also found in tropical fish places since they use it for hole-in-the-head disease for cichlids.
Ignore the jokesters, they know nothing about pigeons. Also, are you keeping yours in clean, healthy conditions? Make sure they don't get damp ground, etc., in the loft. Pigeons aren't ducks and they need to be bone dry inside. Good luck

A joke is only good when it at least has a little bit believability. Pigeons are the only birds in the world that DO NOT and CANNOT catch or carry avian flu. Pigeons have very few diseases that are contagious and then only to other birds not humans (but apparently if you were to eat their poop say accidentally it'd make you ill :-) . . . lemme see what humans catch and seem so willing to share with everyone. . . . flu, common cold, measles, chickenpox, mumps . . . RSI prevents me from typing whole list lol ;-) As for anyone worrying about the health of their bird, please go to their vet and keep a diary of what the bird is doing, symptoms, behaviour etc. Deana

I doubt very much it is bird flu. However, you can watch a serie of very interesting and inormative videos about that topic on the following link:

For the pigeon, I suggest you go to the vet and get a swab taken: it is likely to be a bacterial/parasitic respiratory infection.
