Here’s a fast evaluate of plastic garden flamingos. There are three producers within the USA that produce high quality giant pink flamingo garden ornaments and there may be additionally a minimum of one producer that’s sending birds from China. When you store online, likelihood is you’ll find yourself shopping for one in every of them. The primary birds we are going to describe are garden ornaments thought-about to be constituted of the unique pink flamingo mould that carries a Don Featherstone signature and these birds are the most costly, often $18- $22 a pair plus delivery, so with delivery someplace round $28 -$34 whole a pair. You’ll know the Don Featherstone birds as a result of the sellers depend on the signature to differentiate their birds from different pink flamingos in the marketplace Flamingo Stuff.
The second sort of birds are replicas of the Featherstone authentic and promote for significantly much less and are worth. The replicas, name them Sort A Flamingos, promote for $12-$18 plus delivery. The one distinction is that the Featherstone birds bear the signature, and since it’s on the underside of the hen, solely the client will know he has a signed yard decoration and has primarily paid extra for his yard decoration than the precise reproduction. Each the Featherstone authentic and the Sort A birds stand approx 32″- 34″ when put in, and are by far the best to arrange and dismantle. This is a crucial level if you’re planning on a number of flockings.
The third pink flamingo garden decoration made within the USA is the most cost effective in the marketplace and we’ll consult with them as Sort B. These birds promote for approx $6 – $12 a pair plus delivery, or for bulk buy, $79 – $129 plus delivery for 50 birds. These cheaper plastic pink birds are about six inches shorter and shouldn’t have the swish look of the Featherstone originals or the replicas however are nonetheless very good wanting and properly made. They’re additionally completely different than the originals and the Sort A replicas in seems, peak and the strategy used to put in the steel legs. These are extremely popular with faculties, church buildings and plenty of youth teams merely attributable to value. The perspective of many patrons is so long as it resembles a pink garden flamingo and I can use it for a flocking fundraiser it is going to serve the aim, whereas others who’ve bigger budgets could choose to pay a bit extra and buy the Sort A replicas.
The final birds that I’ve seen currently, name them Sort C, are from China and so they have a poor repute for holding up and the look of those birds isn’t essentially the most fascinating. The primary knock on these birds is their skill to stay pink when left in direct sunshine. Though you may get these birds on the similar value because the Sort B American-made flamingos or barely much less, I might not advocate them except you analysis them and ask questions of the vendor. There are some good high quality flamingos made in China and a educated vendor can let you know the professionals and cons. When you you’re contemplating a bulk buy for a flocking fundraiser, I might try to stay with the birds made within the USA except you belief the vendor. The first supply of distribution of the poor high quality, sort C appears to be E-bay. Like all the pieces else you ask questions before you purchase.
