For typical summer time you can use beddings made of ecru cotton bedspreads. The top is quilted in diamond designs with an assortment of multi-colored wildflowers sprinkled with crochet stitching.

Unusual noises can be created with aluminum pie plates loosely tied to stakes or leaving a radio on at night. Installing some blinking lights, hawk-like balloons or kites that mimic larger birds can also be effective.
