The fodders of our country would side with 2air. Ben Franklin was aghast that the low-down fishhawk of a bawled eegle was nominated for the national byrd. Ol' Ben was definitely on the side of the cogitatin' cognizatin' big tom turkey.
So ... not turkey vulture. Turkey! 'cept I still don't care much for the leftovers... tastes like whooping crane.

Ya Know, I still don't quite get it either, but I have two. I plant them at either end of the awning to remind me to duck. They keep me from crackin my skull on the awning arm when they are at a low altitude,LOL

I dont think it is a matter of " getting it", as much as is it a tradition. Why do we only eat turkey and all the trimmings on Thanksgiving? Because it is a tradition. We could easily invite the family over at any given time and cook up A turkey but we dont. I never paid much attention to the flamingo until I got an Airstream. I think they are to some, a symbol of camping. It reminds us of what a great time we have when out on the road or relaxing by the campfire. So for me, Airstream's and Flamingo's go together just like Turkey and Dressing.

Well, this has been an entertaining thread. I still do not "get it", however, I never did sweat it. I hope all those out there that like their pink Flamingos continue to display them proudly. I on the other hand am trying to find a way to alter my trap thrower to throw the flamingo. Pink is a good color for the eye to track as streaks across the sky. The three dimensional shape is also more realist than the clay discs we currently use.

The weight of the head at the end of the long neck will cause an erratic flight path, resulting in a much more difficult target.
