At small airports rubber snakes are used to discourage birds from
roosting on parked aircraft, with varying degrees of success.

I've heard an owl decoy is sometimes successful at discouraging pigeons,
but risks drawing attacks from crows.

Bird spikes are effective but not practical for an aerial, as they'd
detune it.
