| When I was out walking this morning, I came across this not far from my house. I thought it was so cute.
Beats the heck out of T.P.-ing someone's house. While I was taking the picture with my mobile phone, a car slowed down to check it out.

| I honestly don't know. The girl went into the house too fast for me to ask many questions. I suspect it means about the same as getting T.P.ed. It means you're being recognized as part of the In-Crowd. This was done by our town's high school band. The girl said she had friends in the band. Then she ran back into the house. |

| There are companies that do this "Flocking". I imagine the lettering on the sign is a silly saying. She's just 15, LOL. Executives here, in mansions, have woke up to find 50 or more (depending on their age) in their yards. I think its a hoot. Wonder if 63 flamingos would fit in my little front yard? LOL. Oh, the company comes and retrieves them later in the day. hugs, Karen |

| How fun that would have been to see! Would make you LOL for sure. Last October, my next door neighbor came outside on her birthday and found a huge banner saying "Guess who's 50 today?" and a courtyard full of balloons everywhere. She said she thought it was all fun except for the fact that her age was announced on the banner! Luvs |

| After reading Karen's post I looked up Flamingo Flocking. Here's one link with additional links at the end. Turn's out it was probably some sort of high school band fundraiser. |

| Amazing! I have never seen that here! I thought I saw flamingos in the dollar store..a lot cheaper than the sites on the net! Did you see you could order turkeys, bunnies etc Here they do wood signs when a new baby is born...cute ones, but expensive to rent. I told my son if I knew he was going to have 4 kids I would have made it! |

| OA, what a great site you came upon. I love it. I made DH come over and take a look so he got a good laugh too. I have never heard of such a thing but what a great idea someone came up with. Here in MT it may happen in the cities more than where I live too. Punk |
