I remembered those when I read that the inventor had passed away at age 79 http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/24/business/don-featherstone-inventor-of-the-pink-flamingo-in-plastic-dies-at-79.html …Greg Don Featherstone [the inventor] in a field of his pink flamingos.

They were purchased and put there by Bob Husak and George Helffrich. They very quickly vanished, presumably stolen. Photo credit: Diane and Jim Bodwin. |
