They don't urinate. So all the urea (which would normally be in urine) is passed out at the same time as their faeces. Urea is white and their faeces is brown, which is why when you look at it, their droppings are white and brown.

Why is bird poop black with white dot?

Birds do not urinate as people do. Their urine is excreted with their feces. Their feces is actually brownish-black in color and the white you see mixed in with it is the "urine", which is actually very concentrated urea, not urine itself. Also, usually the bird feces can be white with a black spot or dot, not the other way around.

Can chicken or birds cause lung disease?

Yes it is possible for birds to cause lung disease. It isn't right from the bird it is from the feces. Aspergillosis is a lung infection that comes from the Aspergillus fungus. Bat guano (feces) can also cause Aspergillosis. It is not a common problem but it is possible. Keep the bird(s) area clean from feces.
