No way! That tree provides shade for the entire front of the house. It would
cost me more for electricity if the tree was gone than it would be to buy
another tree or to clean up after the birds for that matter.

Another one of those people who wants nature to bend to their own
personal requirments. Duh!! It doesn't work like that. Birds, the
tree, the sun, the soil, bird poop, nature, etc, all work in a perfect
symbiotic relationship that needs nothing from you. The sun does not
quit shining and birds do not quit roosting, eating, and pooping
simply because you are inconvenienced.

Now that I cogitate on it awhile, I think your only real solution is
to kill yourself.
