cleaning bird crap from my roof

Our Community Center roof was installed 2 months ago and just now, birds are beginning to perch on the edges and crap on the metal roof leaving noticeable droppings. Please advise us on the following: 1. Best way to clean the metal roof of bird droppings? 2. Ways to prevent birds from perching on the roof edges? Any help is greatly appreciated.
