    Pretty sure the answer to your question is no. Koi are very tough fish, and dirt is not going to hurt them.

    Yes if the dirt or poo is washed or in the water the high concentrations of ammonia and acid can and will spike the ammonia in the pond. and change the PH. Making it highly acidic.

    Pigeon poo is classified as a Regulated toxic waste. Believe it or not, here in the US it is a regulated toxin and you need to be licensed to actually remove it. It was the cause of the Minnesota bridge collapse that killed 13 people and injured 100 more.

    Remove the poo and use gloves to do it.
