Once had a cormorant use my mast top for a perch at dusk. I rigged a water hose with a nozzle set for a fine spray, hoisted it to the mast head w a halyard and turned on the water at the dock when he landed. It took several evenings to persuade him to find another perch. If you're on a mooring, a washdown system could be rigged to spray the bird, maybe?
