That's one thing I hate about birds...bird poop is highly acidic regardless of what the birdy has eaten. Stains that result from bird poop go INTO the finish, rather than sit above it. If you really do have a stain in the finish, then polishing the edges of the stain are all you can do.
Polishing the stain is kinda like feathering a patch on drywall; you're trying to de-emphasize the edge so that you can't see it. Once you can't see the cleaned/feathered "crater", be sure to fill/protect the area with wax. As with any scratch/stain/yuck, always start out mild before going abrasive.
If you look closely at the bird poo etching, especially with a magnifying glass, you can tell if it's fixable or not. If you see a bunch of little holes or spider cracks, chances are it can't be fixed. It MIGHT be able to be improved, but most likely it's something you have to live with unfortunately.
