Take care of that pesky flamingo problem plaguing your yard with the help of these helpful and humorous critters. A totally twisted (in a good way) garden sculpture that will have all the neighbors laughing (and hiding their flamingos, of course!). Handmade from both new and recycled parts by Utah artist Fred Conlon. Set includes two Flamingo-aways and a plastic headless pink flamingo, which when properly set up helps create the illusion of the flamingo's head being buried in the ground. Will develop a rust patina outdoors.

This was a gift that arrived broken. Customer service was slow to respond and in fact took a follow-up call from me. A replacement flamingo was sent promptly, but it was broken, too. I am still waiting on a response regarding the 2nd one.

Service & Delivery comments:
The neck of the flamingo arrived broken in half. Luckily my brother (who received this as a gift) is pretty handy and opted to fix it himself rather than return it.

As per other comments, I immediately coated my gnomes with clear, matte spray to protect them from rust. It seems to have worked. I love seeing them in my little garden, where steel seems to grow better than plants. One note, the neck on the flamingo was installed backward (making it difficult to align with the gnomes' hands), so I just twisted it into the correct position and reglued. I agree that if this is to be a gift, you need to include a picture of the final product.

I purchased this sculpture for my sister in-law however the flamingo leaves much to be desired. There is globs of dried glue that dripped down the ends. Also, and the main disappointment is the flamingo neck. The artist did not shape the neck of the flamingo properly. There is no way to have it look as if it's head is in the ground while the 2nd gremlin holds it. I'm going to send it back and hopefully they will provide me with a new flamingo.
UncommonGoods Response: We're so sorry that your sculpture arrived in that condition. I'm glad to see that we've already sent you a pre-paid postage label for the exchange. Let us know what you think of your replacement!

It's the "anti-yard art" yard art! My in-laws gave us the Gnome-Be-Gones 2 years ago when we bought a house with a pool. It was a huge hit with our guests and our pool guy, who took a pic with his cell phone! This year I gave my husband Flamingo-Away for his birthday. We are truly anti-yard art, but gnomes and flamingoes under attack really strikes my funny bone! These little gremlins have lots of personality and we really love them.
