Default paint fix? besides repainting?

I parked at my cousin's house and the spot is right under a tree. After parking for a few hours I come back and find at least 10 bird poop spots. I was cleaning them off and instead it made it worse, I got 3 big patch of scratches on my driver side fender, is there any possible way to fix this besides repainting?

Is there any way to fix these patches with out taking it to a paint shop and repainting the whole fender?

I can't imagine the scratches are that deep. Just give it a good polish.

Birds eat small stones to aid in digestion. The stones pass with the food so bird shit is actually very abrasive. You need to be very careful when you clean it up.
