Unfortunately, with bird crap sitting for a while, it ususally means its etched in the clear coat for good. :(

For the scratch...

what kind of compound is it ? some are more heavier duty than others and require some care when applying. I've had some good luck with meguiars scratch x and a rotary buffer like the porter cable one.

Heavier duty stuff like tutle wax rubbing compound would work too, but you will probably need to follow up with a good paint polish and wax.

Heres some good online shops to get some really good car care products:
