Firing drone-lasers powerful enough to burn or blind might not be a good idea, especially where beams could bounce off reflective surfaces.

A ground-based laser would pack a lot more power.

I know of some towns in upstate NY that employ "crow hazing" techniques to harass and eventually drive away large flocks. Typically these groups tend to use nonlethal (and as non physically damaging as possible) methods like air rifles and lasers, and sometimes just bright lights.
