A brief history of the plastic pink flamingo, published at the Useless Information site, states:

Some compare a lawn without any ornaments to be like a coffee table that is totally empty.

At AGreetingYard.com, we agree to a certain extent. An empty yard when there’s a special occasion going on is definitely a sad, sad yard.

We help make celebrations even more special by filling those yards with our yard card and critters.

One of our most popular criters is, of course, the legendary plastic pink flamingo.

We adopt them from the manufacturing company that is now owned by the man who first designed the plastic pink flamingo years ago, starting the trend that just won’t die, Don Featherstone.
