Six Things That Make a Mayfield Different
The Calibrated Curvature
Hand-curved on a wooden jig to catch breezes as light as 4 mph and sway like a wading bird.
The UV-Lock Polymer
PVC formulated for Sun Belt outdoors. Holds color through 100Β° summers without fading.
The Lift-Off Mount
Comes off the stake in 2 seconds. When a hurricane warning hits, the bird goes inside β the stake stays.
The Rust-Proof Anchor
35" hot-dipped galvanized steel stake. Won't rust in salt air. Won't bend in storm wind.
The Hand-Built Body
Every body bent and painted by hand in Buster's workshop. No two are identical.
The Real-Flamingo Silhouette
24" tall, neck curve mirrors a wading adult. From across the yard, it reads as the real bird.
Expert Endorsement
"Buster Mayfield's flamingos are among the last true examples of hand-shaped Gulf Coast yard art. The curvature, the brushwork, the silhouette β every step is by hand. You can see the difference from twenty feet away."
Available in 5 Hand-Painted Colors

Why It Lasts
30-Day Risk-Free Return
If the flamingo isn't right, email Tyler for a return label. No questions asked. Full refund.
A Note on Handmade Variation
Each flamingo is bent and painted by Buster's own hand β small variations between birds (a slightly different shade of coral, a unique line under the eye) are expected. No two are identical. That's part of the point.
