I know the background. There's alot of other ways to draw attention and to pay 
tribute. I also know there were alot of people that didnt love the pink 
flamingo prank or who set it up. But hey it sells postcards and tshirts. 
I apologize for the non living bird rant....hopefully I will be able to get out 
birding again soon.

For a little background into the decision, here is the story.

Being from the Madison area originally and sorely missing it, I think it is
wonderful that city council members can still take a little time to have fun
and see no reason why their (lack of) ornithological skills should have any
bearing on this. Madison has quirky stories everywhere you look, which only
adds to it's rich history.

Same people that call Blue Jays Bluebirds and insist they are right. It's
already on CNN.Com as comic relief. Not just a fake bird...but a fake bird
that is no where near Wisconsin. What a joke.
Just me venting

At a busy Madison Common Council meeting on Tuesday night, council members
voted to make the plastic pink flamingo the official city bird. The new
mascot was debated for five minutes, and then the Common Council voted 15-4
to make the plastic pink flamingo the official city bird.
