You will need to clay and compound the paint to remove them and re-flatten the paint. Try Meguiars Ultimate compound. Easy to use and safe for the home user, but do the whole car, it will be obvious where you have been using it on a Black car. Apply with a firm foam pad such as this (or use a decent machine if you can borrow or buy one):

Its REALLY hard to prevent bird lime damage, most products just wont protect the paint for long, but a well prepped car will make it easy to remove. Synthetics are more resistant than waxes, with Nanos and Ceramics the most resistant.

Try Prima Amigo as a glaze, simply because its lovely on black, has cleaning agents and cures quite hard. Normally id recommend a natural wax for black, but if you want durability and resistance then try FK1000P, a synthetic paste wax. Use of the Amigo should mean you still get the darkness you want on black. For more darkness try Collinite 476S. Its about as hard as natural waxes get and should result in a darker finish and will still last and be resistant.

The other option is something like Wolf chemicals Seal and Shine topped with Wolfs Nano Body wrap, but they are like £45 for the pair and are best on really really well prepared, machine polished paint. The pair will leave a VERY resistant coating though.
