This is going to require a more aggressive approach. Due to the time sitting it may have done damage to the clear coat. I would suggest finding a top quality detailer. They are equipped to handle this. It will save you the headache and prevent any additional damage to your paint.

Lesson number one with regards to car paint, never ever let bird dropping stay on the paint for more than few days, preferably remove within a day. I learned it the hard way!
Bird dropping is very acidic, and will eat through the clear coat very fast.
Unfortunately it is too late, you will have to live with this, or repaint. Sorry!

If you know what you’re doing, wet sand then polish. A good detailer friend of mine got rid of a nasty mark on my old car using that method.

may not be perfect, but you may get great results without the need for respray
