🚨BREAKING NEWS: FLOCKING INCIDENT IN OUR FRONT YARD 🚨 We woke up this morning to find that a wild flock of flamingos had invaded our lawn! 🦩😂 I guess someone thought we needed a little pink pick-me-up. Not sure whether to call animal control or start charging zoo admission 🪙🎟️ Shoutout to the sneaky flockers responsible…you got us good! We’ve been officially FLOCKED! (And yes, we’re feeding them bird seed, because that’s what responsible flamingo hosts do. 😉) #YouGotFlocked #FlamingoInvasion #FrontYardFiesta
