This Oregon Business Lets Customers Send Flamingos Instead Of Flowers

There is perhaps nothing more delightful than flamingos. These big birds are endearingly bizarre, with their long sinuous limbs and distinct pink hue. The birds have become a mascot for summer and all the warm, good vibes associated with the season. This is also why, in 1957 post-war America, the first plastic lawn flamingos were produced — as a way to add some pizazz to cookie-cutter suburban streets. Today, these kitschy creatures can be found in lawns all across the U.S., adding flair and fun everywhere they flock. So of course, you’ll find these birds in Oregon, too, as it’s a place that totally embraces the weird. In fact, there’s a Portland-based business that lets customers send flamingos instead of flowers… and it couldn’t be more Oregon.

Pink plastic flamingos are the most delightfully quirky lawn decor.

*One* pink plastic flamingo is fun, but a *flock* of flamingos is fantastic.

Imagine waking up to a pink sea of flamingos in your front yard.

With Portland-based business Think Pink Flamingo Flocking, that's exactly what you'll get.

The company's objective is simple: send flamingos instead of flowers.

Customers can order different 'flockings' for different occasions: birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and even encouragement.

The flamingo flockings happen at night, making for the most memorable morning surprise.

The flamingos stay for a few days, and then Think Pink Flamingo Flocking comes to help the birds migrate to a new location.

Have a milestone birthday coming up? Send the birthday boy or girl a flock of flamingos to commemorate their special day -- in this case, 70 bright, flamboyant flamingos.

These happy birds are a wonderful way to send love and encouragement to someone going through a difficult time, too.

Of course, the company does more traditional yard signs, too, like sports and birthday banners.

But if you ask us, a flamingo flocking is much more fun.

A Portland business that lets customers send flamingos instead of flowers… now that’s peak quirky Oregon! For more information on Think Pink Flamingo Flocking, visit their website.
