To find out if tjheyre tin, put your bird on a work table and beat it with a sledge. If its tin, the seams will stay put when you flatten it, if its iron, they will open and separate.
Glad to help, Its what I do.

I think Sally dog deserves a French maid costume.
Maybe one for the Lady Diane, too.

Pink Flamingo Kind Of Love
Pink Flamingo Kind Of Love
Save your money on the flowers
What's yours is mine is ours
And I can grow my own
Diamond rings and cars are easy
And I think they're kinda cheesy
Like summering in Rome
I'm a little jaded
If you wanna know what gets me
You ain't got to get so complicated,all I want's a
Sprinkler on the garden hose and
Aim it at the patio
Iced tea,you and me
Pink flamingo (kind of love)
Let the clothesline be our fortress
Gas up the tiki torches
Sun up,sun down,big dreams,small town
Pink flamingo kind of love
Life is great without the clutter
Pass the apple butter
I can't believe this heat
Ain't it simple,ain't it clever
How good we go together
Like june bugs on a string
If our yard was an ocean
And we were sitting' in our lawn chairs
I wouldn't feel any more emotion
Then I do now,all I want's a
Sprinkler on the garden hose and
Aim it at the patio
Iced tea,you and me
Pink flamingo (kind of love)
Let the clothesline be our fortress
Gas up the tiki torches
Sun up,sun down,big dreams,small town
Pink flamingo kind of love
If the key to love and happiness is simplify
Then all we need to get us by,is a
Sprinkler on the garden hose and
Aim it at the patio
Iced tea,you and me
Pink flamingo (kind of love)
Let the clothesline be our fortress
Gas up the tiki torches
Sun up,sun down,big dreams,small town
Pink flamingo kind of love

Pink Flamingos No Ordinary Man
The story of Dys' life.---BBB
Pink Flamingos No Ordinary Man
I was a rebel in my younger years
I'd...drink with the devil if he bought me a beer
Wore out two pickups just running around
Mama thought I never would settle down
That was before I met sweet Irma Jean
She made a new man outta me
We got pink flamingos in the front yard
Picture window with a view of Wal-Mart
Blue collar heaven domestic bliss
It just doesn't get any better than this
We got pink flamingos, pink flamingos, pink flamingos
Sweet Irma Jean is a den mother now
With a station wagon and a charge account
Bubba Junior pitches for his baseball team
Little sister's running for Rose Bud Queen
And me I'm doing good at the used car lot
Is this a great country or what
We got pink flamingos in the front yard
Picture window with a view of Wal-Mart
Blue collar heaven domestic bliss
It just doesn't get any better than this
We got pink flamingos, pink flamingos, pink flamingos
People slow down when they drive by
They wave and smile but there's envy in their eyes
We ain't rich and won't be for a while
But no doubt about it baby we got style
With got pink flamingos in the front yard
Picture window with a view of Wal-Mart
Blue collar heaven domestic bliss
It just doesn't get any better than this

I don't think Fred would stand for that.
YAY!!! I've rendered Deb speechless. To me, that is an accomplishment of a lifetime, except for the fact that a speechless Deb would render the world a hell of a boring place.
Farmerman, help is always wanted, although rest assured that Wal Mart is avoided at all costs. BTW, I got a T-shirt with some Indian symbols on it with the sentence: "My Life Is In Ruins." It's a lovely purple. It made me think of you.

I've always wondered if the Lady Diane always wears a French maid costume under her Nun's habit? Foxy lady?

Nope, just nekkid as a jay bird.
Just for you dys,
Flamingos and such at our local bush market
A town called Barrington, which is predominantly an upper class community and a suburb of Providence, there was some fellow who was a writer for The Providence Journal who had a pink flamingo theme going on his front lawn. The house he lived in was on a main road so everyone could see the changing display. He lived in a modest house, with a small patch of lawn.
When he first started putting the flamingoes out lawn there were maybe three. when some of the snotty upper-crusters residents complained they were unsightly this made him more motivated.
So he bought more, and started his themes:
During Superbowl season he would dress them (about 10 in all) in football helmuts and put up a goal post. On Holloween they would all have a different costume. Fourth of July they'd have patriotic hats, etc. You name the occasion, Easter, Christmas, Valentines, he dressed them up, displayed them, and the all towns people could do was ring their upper-class hands in fury.
The Church of the Pink Flamingo?
The Church of the Pink Flamingo?
The pink flamingo is the universal symbol of suburban bad taste, and also the underground symbol of the anti-HOA movement (don't tell anybody). Now it has become the center of a religious cult. Well, not exactly:
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - A holiday display at Cranston City Hall that included a menorah, a Nativity scene and plastic pink flamingos in Santa hats didn't violate the separation of church and state, but the mayor's restrictions on what went into it did hinder free speech, a judge ruled.
Last winter, Mayor Stephen Laffey encouraged residents to put seasonal displays he deemed appropriate on City Hall's front lawn. A menorah went up, followed by an inflatable snowman and Santa Claus, and a Nativity scene. They were followed by a flock of plastic flamingos sponsored by a resident who said they represented the "Church of the Pink Flamingo," a tongue-in-cheek protest against the holiday display.
The state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union sued on behalf of a resident, arguing that the city was violating the First Amendment separation of church and state, and that Laffey's oversight amounted to a restriction on free speech.
U.S. District Judge William Smith rejected the religious argument on Monday.
Now, even your local paper is reporting about this in today's issue ...
I wonder if you can buy them here?
My neighbours were amazed when I put the concrete lion in my front garden. I found one old fellow conducting tours of the sight!
The lion's a bit passe now - even though visiting ftoends often give him varying colourful scarves / ties.
Perehaps a pink flamingo, now.....!
Margo, a lion with a flamingo would be a lovely symbol of different species living in peace. You should go ahead and do it.
OK you aussies, what in the world is a tyre swan?
