Twist on the theme
I think I posted picture this on a different thread, but it almost is on topic.

Well....we have 4 pink yard flamingos that go along for every trip we take in the Airstream, whether they make an appearance or not! Then, we have a pink fluorescent falmingo light that sits on the dinette....helps us find out way back after an evening spent partying in another trailer. Recently, our son gave us a 12" high flamingo that holds a bottle of wine...the flamingo looks like he has already had too much wine!
But, I would trade all of my pink flamingos for jacarape's sandhill cranes!!!

Wow, some of you are truly flamingo afficionados! We, in contrast, have only two sadly molting flamingos. We seriously need for our tired old birds to hatch a flock of younguns. Now...we wonder how to create the romantic ambiance for flamingo magic to begin??? ~G

Marvin Gaye's music... I don't know depends on the generation of flamingo, they might prefer Perry Como

We have numerous flamingoes!
...about a dozen plastic pink yard ornaments - plus a small flag, several wine glasses with flamingoes at the bases, a garden chime set with a flamingo holding the chimes (his name is Horace), a suncatcher and a couple truly tacky dust-catchers made in China.
And we've just begun to gather them! I'm hoping my quest never ends!

We have a dozen flamingos stored under the gaucho that I like to use in a number of different configurations. In addition to those we have flamingo sheets, lights, pj's, lanterns, stuffed animals, knick-knacks and I can't remember what else!

They travel in pairs with me
I have 1 pair of Featherstone flamingo that travel with me. Before the great Union Products factory closing crisis last year I bought 4 extra pair. Three spare pairs stay home in case the original two "fly away". LI Pets won the fourth pair at the first Florida Can Opener lottery.
Hmmm, I just changed the sheets in the TW to the Nick & Nora "Flamingo on Ice" flannels. Do I have to count all of those?

American Pride
That's fantastic. The American plastic flamingo is alive and well, even during military operations.

the bird
2 featherstone flamingoes & a toledo torch I got in trade with another forum member (it is being nickel plated at the moment). I got to look for a small gazing globe (silver of course).

We have three. Two are the original plastic moldings and one that is a lawn sprinkler with flapping wings. We also have a Canadian goose which we have fooled people with at one camp out.

We have 2 - but they're concrete from the original 1950's molds. a bit too heavy to lug around camping.

too many !
I am a retired Parade float designer & builder and because of that was & am involved in a lot of parades & festival.
I was Pres. of Daffodill Festival in Tacoma, Puyallup, Sumner & Orting, Wa in 1991. As such, the people that where the head honcho of festivals from 1991 still get to gether for a weekend of just funeach year. 2008 will find us at Ocean Shores to harrase the natives.
We are called the " '91 Has Beens". We adopted the cheap Pink Flamingo for our mascot. We have a gift exchange every year and quess what the gift must be.? yup, a pink mouse. opps.
So after 16 years of getting more and more flamingo's, I do not know how many I have. Only 2 of the big plastic ones and every form of hanging, standing & what not you can imagine.
Guess I will have to get some out and take a photo or 2.
Just got a neon light flamingo for Christmas. Even my family gets in on the torture.
Keep pink.
Claude
