This is the icon. The pink flamingo lawn ornaments designed by Don Featherstone! Featherstone is an artist who worked for Union Products starting in 1956. One year into the job, he sculpted the iconic pink flamingo that changed the face of lawns all over America (and Florida in particular.) In 1958, the Don Featherstone Pink Plastic Flamingos went on sale. And the rest is history!. You can get your own original Don Featherstone. Even though Union Products, the manufacturers of the original Don Featherstone Flamingos, went out of business in 1997, another company took up the mantle and is manufacturing our own American icon. Flock of Pink Flamingos has managed to secure a supply of these rare flamingos. Get yours today! If you want the highest quality, buy these flamingos. They are inscribed with the signature of the master himself, an innovation Don Featherstone added to the pink flamingos in 1987 to ensure that people knew what they were buying. The taller one is 30?? tall when staked into the ground. They are impressive and you will know you are displaying the original!
