You fill one up and then pop it. The sound will scare them away. I haven’t used it already, but I saw this trick recommended more than once and it makes sense. Plus, empty balloons have almost no weight and can fit anywhere. I keep 2-3 on my handlebar bag just in case. I don’t support the use of violence against animals to shake them off (unless if life-threatning), so these simples tricks, like dog whistles, balloons or horns should be used instead.

There’s also the old standby of using a small marine air horn that is recharged by pumping with a bike pump!
