Hair? What is their hair doing in your loft? What did you use for nesting material? Sometimes nesting birds if you use string(which you should never do) and their droppings will stick to the legs.
Now I did find one time some material from the bag of food that somehow got into the cage(probably when feeding them) and one of my birds was tangled up real bad. I cut it free and made sure their wasn't anymore around to cause any problems. If they get string tied around their feet they could get it caught on some wire on the cage and loose a leg from it. If they have babies they could even drag the baby out of the nest or even strangle the babies.
I'd say make sure their isn't any kind of strings that can get tangled on them in the lofts.
