You could try hanging it around your balcony to keep them from getting in. It is less visible than a metal grille but just as effective. But honestly, the only birds that have ever come on to my balcony were there to drink from my hummingbird feeder or eat from my bird feeder. I don't think birds will be as big a problem as you think.
