Get a plastic owl and mount it somewhere nearby. You can probably find one at a hardware store

Keeping wild birds away can be really hard.
Make sure they are not nesting, roosting or finding something to eat on your porch.
You can try scaring them with mylar silver tape or inflatable owls.
You can try putting up some sort of barrier -- e.g. fine garden or fishing net, or stringing fishing line tightly across where they are flying.
If you are patient, you can sit on your porch with a super soaker or a hose and spray them.
Loud noises sometimes work, but they tend to fly away and come back later.
At airports, they have trained hawks to chase away the birds.

Birds will do it were ever they go - the question then becomes
How do I keep birds from coming on my porch?

get a plastic cat or owl and put them on the porch and porch roof. Also mount some wind driven spinners or wind socks with streamers.

Sometimes stringing a couple pieces of fishing line will keep them away. They can't tell exactly where the lines are so they don't fly in. Or try a radio connected to a motion sensor.

put a statue of a hawk or owl out and they will stay away.

no not really maybe you should get something scary to scare them away or just deal with it. they are wild animals and they go potty everywhere.

Bring out the big guns.
