You can live next to me. My pink flamingos would get along just fine with your pink flamingo. I think Pooh has a few herself.

We used to have raven lawn ornaments, but ravens were never more appealing than flamingos!

If I see them on a front lawn ---I WILL CALL ---thank you -- just so you know who called --- and yes it is my business - I also live here -- no need to explain more - i think you get the drift of what I am saying

I know that south of 466 as I was told...you can be called on the front yard but not the back yet a friend of mine (who's) backyard backs up to St. Charles Place had a very discrete yard ornament in the shrubs and she was called on it. They told her only holiday decorations will be tolerated so she put a bow around the neck and placed plastic Easter eggs around it and put bunny ears on it and now it looks rediculous but they discharged it as a seasonal display...so watch what you wish for...it can backfire !!!

Default Rules

So again it all comes down to which rules we wish to enforce right!!

I found the really "nice" blue herons at the Dockside Imports store in Ocala on the road to silver springs. Locations

Those herons are hard to find!!!! The price as I recall was $86 for one or
$139 (something like that) for the pair.

Unless you live in proximity to your "offender", your compulsion to tattle must mean you are a retired "confidential informant" who just can't get away from snitching. If the neighbors are OK with the "offender", leave it alone. These things have a way of working themselves out. If you must "inform", try turning in serious offenders like speeders and red light runners. Now that would be "snitching for the greater good"!

I like your style and couldn't agree more - if the neighbors don't mind than neither should you!

Fountain and birdbaths must have running water. We use a "water wiggler" to keep our birdbath water constantly moving so mosquitoes do not lay eggs.

Thank you so much for you advise - which I choose to ignore
I check the source of the advise and - if not creditable I ignore it - thank anyway. I also feel it is my duty to report rules violations. No matter where they occur. Dont break the rules and you will do just fine

You do realize that you are just now replying to a 5 month old post, and of course, once again you are anonymously adopting a position that you know will be unpopular and confrontational. Why be that way?
