Buy a mylar balloon filled with helium at the grocery store. Tie it to a weight so that it floats a few inches below the "roof" of the deck. The movements of the "intruder" balloon will discourage the birds. Or, just enjoy watching the nest building, hatching and fledging and clean up after they've moved out, usually only a couple of weeks.
