The birds are messy and scatter food below the feeder and the deer are there every day stealing all the seed from the birds that prefer eating on the ground.
According to the SDS for Shake-Away Coyote Urine Deer Repellent, it does not have any known toxicity to wildlife, so we do not believe it would harmful to the birds. It would be best to use a repellent farther away from the bird feeder so that you are repelling the deer from the entire area rather than just a very small area. Birds are not typically affected by repellents that rely on scent.
