- ☂It plays itself when it rains. Put it under the run-off and the weather sounds the tongues. No power, no batteries.
- ♪There is no wrong note. Pentatonic tuning means any two tongues sound right together.
- ☐No lessons needed. The tongues are numbered and the songbook uses those same numbers.
- ◆Made to stay outside. Powder-coated steel, through the wet months.
Why it is called that. Margaret is the grandmother it was first made for, by her granddaughter, because she had loved the sound for years and only ever heard it somewhere else.

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. Wonβt rust in salt air. Wonβt bend in storm wind.
The Hand-Built Body
Every body bent and painted by hand in Busterβs 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
βBuster Mayfieldβs 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.β
Available in 5 Hand-Painted Colors

Why It Lasts
30-Day Risk-Free Return
If the flamingo isnβt right, email Tyler for a return label. No questions asked. Full refund.
A Note on Handmade Variation
Each flamingo is bent and painted by Busterβs 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. Thatβs part of the point.
