lawn flamingos
Pink plastic birds
Lawn flamingos are plastic pink flamingo ornaments placed in yards as decoration.
Introduced in the 1950s as affordable suburban kitsch, they became iconic symbols of cheerful bad taste.
People display them ironically, nostalgically, or with genuine affection: The neighbors have a whole flock of lawn flamingos.
They're also used in pranks—"flocking" someone's yard overnight.
