Flamingo, Saratoga Springs, New York

Pink Flamingos were pushed into plastic production by artist Don Featherstone in 1957. As live flamingos were in scant supply in Leominster, Massachusetts Featherstone relied upon National Geographic photos to create the plastic flamingos which were manufactured using polystyrene and injection molding.
