Current Goal

New Goal 6/3/2010: Our trip to see our daughter has now come and gone. Unfortunately, none of the Flamingos made it to the Portland, ME area in time for us to "discover" them. (See below). My new mission, once in the Portland area is to be hung on the screen door knob at 40 Scamman St., South Portland. Thanks so much for helping us play this little prank.

My mission is to get to the Portland, Maine area. I’m one of a flock of 13 Flamingos flying to see our “Aunt”. I’d love to be seen in the company of other Flamingos. Photos are always welcome.

About This Item

Ferris

While our daughter was attending school at Clemson in 2001, 2 gaudy pink Flamingos were stolen from in front of her house. Several members of the family took it upon themselves to start anonymously sending Flamingos from locations all over the United States. To this day she doesn’t know who did it. This is one of 13 Flamingo TBs all with the same mission. We plan on taking her geocaching for the first time this fall while we’re visiting her in Maine. We’d love it if this Flamingo was in a cache in the Portland, Maine area so we could “find” it while we’re there.

Grabbed! Sounds like a fun prank. I might be venturing to Maine in a few months and could get Ferris very close to it's goal. If I find out I'm not going to make the trip I'll make sure to at least move the TB further North.

I'm sorry to say that this bird must have flown the coop. I was hoping to find it. I love Jimmy Buffet and this looks like a Jimmy Buffet Flamingo!

  • Look it's mini me I made sure that Ferris had some company.
  • Tiki refused to share her food though
  • It's not so bad hanging out on MD's Eastern Shore
