First, be aware that virtually all birds are protected by federal law. You would be violating the law by harassing or harming birds. Second - are they really a problem? Do you want to kill birds or their young just because they leave some dirty spots on your porch or pool deck? Consider the tradeoff. If they are truly a problem, contact your local wildlife official. In serious cases you may be able to get permission to take some action. Otherwise, try to understand that birds are just doing what they evolved to do and you are living in their habitat. Often,the problem is temporary.
