On September 1, Madison's City Council voted to make the plastic pink flamingo the official city bird. It was done to honor a 30 year old college prank.

Gee, and all that Racine's City Council ever does is give us the bird.

There is or used to be a company that you could call and for a small fee have flamingos placed in people's yards, sort of like a prank. I can't remember if it was local or not.
They should name the robin Racine's official bird because City Hall is always robin us.
Ahh, I didn't hink it was that funny, either...
I remember that KK. They'd put like 50 in your yard. I thought it was pretty funny.
I think they should name Heckle and Jeckle our city birds....
Heckle and Jeckle
