How do you get rid of a bird in a tree/bush outside of my office?
Any suggestions to get rid of this bird? Are there ways to make a bird not want to live somewhere?

Joking aside, it might quiet down if it sees a "predator". This can be accomplished by putting a plastic hawk, owl or possibly even a rubber snake in or near the preferred bush. You can also purchase a hawk silhouette to hang above the tree and it moves around to help scare away prey species:

If it's a local resident, sooner or later it will quickly get used to the fake item and might even perch on it. Thus, you may need to periodically relocate it or take it away and then put it back out so that all the annoying birds to get used to it as fast. If it's just a visitor, it might decide to move on and chirp elsewhere.
If you get a breeze in your area, tying a flashy sparkling bit of ribbon in the bush might do the trick for a while, as the movement will irritate or scare most nearby birds. There's a product called Irri-Tape (great name!) designed for this purpose:

You can even tie a helium balloon to the bush and let the movement scare away timid birds for a while, and they even make owl eyed balloons specifically for this purpose:

If you are motivated enough to mess with unpleasant sticky goo, you can use Tanglefoot to make the branches unpleasant for the bird to perch on:

They also make expensive sonic annoyance devices to drive away birds, but if the bush is near your window one of these is as likely to annoy you as it is the bird you are trying to get rid of:

I personally would start with the Irri-Tape or a balloon, as prey species hate it when big things move around unpredictably. These are also less offensive to other creatures than the Tanglefoot goo, and cheaper and less annoying than the noise maker.
It's hard to tell you which of these will work best without knowing more about the bird in question, but these should give you a good start on quieting him down or scaring her away.
It's kind of funny, but there is a whole niche industry dedicated to getting rid of birds. Professional Falconry experts will bring predatory birds to scare away seagulls from landfills. Devices that shoot blanks into the air at random intervals are used by farmers and land fills. You'd be surprised at how desperate certain people and industries are to keep away birds.
limite coursework and fieldwork as an ornithology student and stories from people who don't want birds getting their fruit or crops.

Was your window closed and you still heard it? Or would closing the window work?
Maybe you could use some white noise in the background, like a cd of Mozart or the ocean waves. But that may have seagulls in it. My mom likes sounds of the rain forest. But again, more birds.
I'm sorry I can't help you more, but I live in the country and birds are soothing to me.

nice answer.
Thanks. I just wish I would have seen the typos before the 1hr edit window closed. I hate seeing the goofy errors and not being able to go back and fix them.
