Gee, I bet a dead cat would work even better. Or even a live one if you Velcro'd him in place.
(Sorry - I couldn't resist. I really do like cats - all animals for that matter - but there is a funny book called "100 uses for a dead cat" and this sounded like one more.)

There is no point or advantage in having a custom fitted cover made for your aircraft. A cotton blanket and a silver 10' X 12' tarp with grommets that you can tie 1/4" nylon rope will work just as well as an expensive custom cover. Also if you have a problem as I did when I was living in California with birds thinking your airplane is a toilet for their use, do the following. Get a small piece rabbit skin with the hair still on it and cut it out so it looks like four legs and a head. Put two eyes on the head and glue a piece of Velcro on the bottom side of it. Glue a piece of Velcro on the turtle deck of your aircraft and you will not have any more birds sitting on your airplane and taking a dump. The idea is not really new, farmers have been using scarecrows for years to protect their crops.
The rabbit skin is the same principal and it works
