This is a strange request. I have a special needs daughter who has learned much of her communication with all types of animal toys. Is there anyone who'll admit to having those pink flamingos that used to be a staple of "trashy" landscaping. If you are no longer using them and are looking to get rid of them, please send me a pm. If there are none out there, can you tell me where you have seen them for sale?cool.gif

They are actually becoming quite the collectors item. I hear the guy that owns the patent keeps production very low and they're actually hard to find, believe it or not. The "classic" ones are even more popular, and there's a following depending on which model/factory/etc.

In other news, I will admit to loving the movie Pink Flamingos, too smile.gif

Good luck with your search. If you find any "original" classic ones, send 'em my way!

Ok, while I don't personally own any flamingo items, I do admit to seeing some flamingo lights (strung together like you'd put on a Christmas tree) at Walgreen's today. I noticed them because they were pink and I thought they were kinda cool.

You could also reach out to local freecycle group in Folsom at http://groups.yahoo.com and ask if someone has one.

Good luck with your search!

They sell them on the Home Depot website. You might check the store to see if they have them to save on time and shipping.
