You could do what I've been doing for the past few years (same problem as

You can buy rotating bird scarers from a local farm supplies shop. Do
a google on 'hawkeye bird scarer'. I put one in the garden this year
as blackbirds were eating the strawberries before I could pick them.
Not seen any birds in mine or neighbours gardens since. Even those
annoying magpies which squawked all day and night seem to have packed
up and moved elsewhere.

I had a similar problem. I threw some insulated cable up and over the wire
they perched on and when they were sitting (perching) comfortably, I gave it
a sharp pull. After a few times they never came back. Sounds stupid but what
the hell it worked and cheap too.
