## The story

It started with one goofy vacation photo and spread to every school picture, wedding and diner booth. Lift one leg, tilt way back, arms out like wings. Bonus points for doing it somewhere unexpected, like a pumpkin patch or a museum lobby. Group shots of twenty flamingos became a yearbook staple.

## Fun fact

The record for the longest flamingo lean belonged to a gym teacher who held it through an entire school assembly.
