62360 Original Featherstone, Pink Flamingo Yard Lawn Ornaments, 38" -Set of 2

Best ever - THE original, the perfect color! Great product & over the top customer service plus made in the USA. I have a large one in the yard but this size is perfect for the side of the house in my mini oasis. They can take the wind, rain & lots of sun - but I like them in the shade. Great value & sturdy enough for occasional knocks from rambunctious pets

Flamingos were just as they were supposed to be

I live in Florida. Yes, I realize that these did not originate in Florida but if you think about pink flamingos exactly which state comes to mind first? And I live in a vintage house. I just completed some landscaping and was looking for some finishing touches. I decided Pink Flamingos would be perfect.I didn't want just any pink flamingos; if you are going to be kitschy at least be authentic. So I was going to go looking for vintage era-appropriate pink flamingos. I was pleasantly surprised to find out the originals are still made today, and voila here they are. So I get "new" vintage pink flamingos from the original manufacturer - perfect.TBH - love them. My landscape project needs more; definitely getting more.

My last identical pair of these flamingos lasted 15 years making this purchase and outstanding value. Of course the fact that they are still made in the USA is something else I love about them. The color is brilliant and I simply love these classic poolside cuties!

A bolt of pink inspiration struck Don Featherstone one bleak day in 1957 in Leominster Massachusetts. The result was the creation of the world's first plastic pink flamingo lawn ornaments. Don Featherstone in one stroke of genius accomplished more than any other single person for both the plastics industry and popular culture. Imagine the drabness of a world without plastic pink flamingo lawn ornaments.The original Don Featherstone pink flamingo lawn ornaments were manufactured continuously from 1957 through 2005 by Union Products in Leominster, Massachusetts. In 2005, Union Products went out of business. However, the copyright and molds for the original Don Featherstone pink flamingo were purchased by HMC International LLC in Westmoreland, New York, a division of Faster-Form Corporation. As of mid-2009, Faster Form has finally begun to remanufacture the original Don Featherstone plastic pink flamingo lawn ornament under the Faster Form label. The reissued items still bear the signature of Don Featherstone as well as the Union Products Leominster imprint, even though they are now being manufactured in New York.Accept no substitutes. Go for the gusto. Purchase only the original Don Featherstone plastic pink flamingo lawn ornament.All plastic lawn ornaments deteriorate with sunlight, resulting in faded color and brittle plastic after five to ten years outdoors. As with the original, the connection to the legs is delicate.For the creation of the plastic pink flamingo, Don Featherstone has won the coveted Ig Nobel Prize.Check Don Featherstone's book The Original Pink Flamingos: Splendor on the Grass.

made from the original mold and signed by artist/creator Don Feathersone - I remember the late 50s when everyone had these in their yard.Only problem was set up should have been easy but wire did not insert into the holes very easily - 2 did but the other 2 didn't which means they are wobbly and I've got to figure something out.

The REAL DEAL. NO joke - these are made in the USA of real quality material. Featherstone trademark cast into the bottom. The color is excellent. Perfect size. Very Nice thick plastic and feather detail - nicely done eyes and beak paint. Very happy with these. OH, and I noticed the ends of the wire legs are cut by some kind of shear which creates an uneven edge at the end of the wire making them difficult to insert. DO NOT try to shove them in without using a file, or sandpaper, or do as I did and touch them up on a fine wheel bench grinder, to put a smooth bevel on the ends. They slide right in about 1/4 inch now and butt up against a closed end hole. Very securely seated. Easy to put in and remove. Highly recommended.

I got the Featherstone flamingos a number of years ago, but it was finally time to retire them. I’m so happy I found this brand again (Made in USA) at a good price, and was pleased at the better definition of the wings and feather texture. They have also made them a little more coral colored (closer to real flamingos) than the glaring bright pink of old. Don’t get me wrong, they are still bright pink. I used to place them around my pool among the tropical plants, but since I moved, I put them amongst my flowering plant pots on my deck. It makes me smile to see all the color and the flamingos. They’re very quiet and don’t make a mess, lol! If you love flamingos you need these!
