The Swan Head was on the property of the Villa Chalets. I believe it had been here since at least the 1970s. This could be a duck, goose, or some other bird. I'm open to correction! It was still there in 2018 but gone by 2019.

The Swan statue in Elk Rapids is 15 feet tall. It was built in 1966 to carry Miss Elk Rapids in the Cherry Festival and Harbor Days parades. The statue was then used in various parades and public appearances in the 1970s before being installed here permanently outside the Chamber of Commerce building. [map]

The Magic Beach Motel featured this rooftop flamingo sculpture. It appeared to be made of cement. This photo is from 2009. The statue was gone by 2013. The motel's entrance also features decorative flamingos and neon. In 2021, there were plans to demolish the motel and build a larger one. That deal fell through. The motel also has a modern neon sign.

The Flamingo Motel in Wisconsin Dells features a 26-foot-tall flamingo. It was produced by FAST Fiberglass. When the statue was originally installed, there was no sign around his legs. For more, see this website. FAST produced another flamingo statue like this for M. Schettl Sales. [map]

The Flamingo Motel in Marshalltown appears to be from the 1950s. I don't know how long this flamingo has been here. For more, see this website. [map]

The Cafe Hon pink flamingo is 30 feet tall. It was created by Randall Gornowich and installed in 2002. It is made of chicken wire, wood, and bedsheets. The sculpture was probably inspired by the movie "Pink Flamingos" by John Waters, a Baltimore native. The restaurant closed in 2022 and the flamingo was removed. It is currently in storage and it is hoped it will be reinstalled in the same neighborhood.
