A little girl in Alliston thinks it is magic that has brought a flock of flamingos to her front lawn, but the community has had a hand in their migration.

Charlîne Bell, four, was ecstatic to see that her front lawn has become home to more than a dozen flamingo ornaments.

Last year Charlîne had a flamingo of her own that she put out on the lawn, but it was stolen overnight sometime during the potato festival. Charlîne’s mother, Mélissa Lachaine, went online to an Alliston Facebook community group to see if anyone had seen the missing flamingo. While they had no luck finding the original bird, a member of the community offered to bring her a new one.

Unfortunately that one got stolen too.
