Plastic flamingos have been used in a great fundraiser by a hospital in New York.  Hadassah Medical Center has used a plastic flamingo fundraising strategy where they sold indvidual flamingos for donations, and raised almost 10,000!

Pink plastic garden flamingos may be all the rage in Florida (as we know from the sales of all the lawn flamingos and garden flamingos on this site!)  But recently there has been a rare pink flamingo seen in the wild in Florida.

30 years ago, a group of University of Wisconsin-Madison students played a prank that's remembered fondly -- by some, at least -- in Madison to this day. 

The students -- members of a group called the Pail and Shovel Party, which ran UW's student government at the time -- planted more than 1,000 pink plastic flamingos on the grassy expanse near the dean's office.  These birds were made by the same factory that makes our birds - Lawnware.  Get a piece of history!
