Plastic Pink Flamingo Named Madison's Official City Bird

On September 1, Madison's City Council voted to make the plastic pink flamingo the official city bird. It was done to honor a 30 year old college prank.

Gee, and all that Racine's City Council ever does is give us the bird.

  1. There is or used to be a company that you could call and for a small fee have flamingos placed in people's yards, sort of like a prank. I can't remember if it was local or not.
