OREGON FLOCKING

“With the appearance of the fake spring we had recently here in Portland, this flock of pink flamingos landed in my neighbor’s yard. They were strangely still and unmoving, almost like those little plastic pink flamingos that live mostly in retirement villages in the south. I prefer to think that no one would do this to their yard intentionally, so I choose to believe that it must have been a wild flock posing as the crappy plastic variety.”-Dawn

There’s a company or two in my area that people can hire to do this as a gag to someone. Usually it’s for a birthday, anniversary, graduation or some other special occasion.

There are a lot of schools, groups, organizations, etc that do this as fundraisers. You pay them $20 for example and they flock the person of your choice.

  do they keep replacing them until the people being flocked pay another $20?

We must have been ahead of the time in the late 80’s. We did this at night for fun to other people.

  So did I!
  We also used those orange flags and plastic forks. Get ‘em good!

You do NOT find these in the yards in “the South”. What you did have was some old Yankees moving to South Florida in years past and putting them in their yards also
containing their single wide trailer. A result of their lifetime dreams of retirement. A Pink Flamingo has become a tongue in cheek parody.But the you have never been to “THE SOUTH” have you?
