A family in Eagan, Minnesota stakes 30-50 plastic flamingos across a front yard as a birthday surprise, then takes them away again.
Flocks of Flamingos charges $125 on a weekday and $185 for the weekend, delivery and pickup included.
Same birds, out again next weekend 👀
Nick Loper does the maths…
The flamingos cost about $4 apiece.
At these rates, you breakeven after your first rental, and everything after that is gravy.
So the trick is stock that never gets used up, bought once and rented all season.
Season being the catch…
We are a seasonal business. We will take orders for roosts up to September 1, 2026.
Minnesota gets maybe 18 weekends of this, which at $185 is around $3,300 a flock before you add weekday jobs 🤔
Plenty of others at it – one outfit sells spare birds at $4 each, another has been flocking Dallas since 2008.
Buy a flock over the winter and be ready for the first warm weekend 🔥
