What you need is a scare decoy! I had a spruce tree that was so infested with starlings that when the flock arrived the tree would visibly shake and it was not a small tree. They were so loud that it was flat out ridiculous! We put up a silhouette of an owl that my father got somewhere and they were gone immediately and never came back.
You may be able to cut a silhouette of a hawk out of cardboard, paint it black and put it on a pole or hang it. It will scare the shit out of songbirds and they will not come back.
Google "visual scares and predator decoys." They're not worth $50 but you could make one yourself pretty easily out of a kid's kickball or something.
