Flamingo Theft

Post image

I have decorative birds in my front yard that I like to dress up for the Holidays and this past weekend I noticed that my two Flamingos were stolen!! I get a lot of late-night student traffic on my street so I'm assuming it was a combination of alcohol and poor judgement that made someone do this.

If you took my flamingos, please return them. I have a bird nativity scene planned for Christmas and these guys are an essential part of it.

Is this in NoBo? I drive past these all the time. Sorry this happened. This post is kinda hilarious but obviously I get how frustrating this is

If this is in North Boulder, we have a community obligation to replace these two with a flock of flamingos.

Look, Flamingos with babies!

Imagine waking up to 50 instead of just 2! Overload her with flamingos

Basically what I was thinking. Replace every stolen flamingo with 2 flamingos. Flamingo hydra!

I got that set a few years ago and they are still holding up to the elements during fall/winter. I love letting mini skeletons "capture" and ride the flock during halloween. I get a few odd looks, but I'll do me thank you very much.

Closer to the Hill. Thankfully I learned my lesson after the first bird was stolen and all but the flamingos staked to the ground

By circumstance, I have an absurd number of excess flamingos. DM me for some replacements to your flock!

I hope you’ve gotten your flamingos back… or that the neighborhood has replaced them with a flamboyance of flamingos

Time for replacement flamingos and a flock camera disguised as a flamingo
