🚨 ATTENTION AUBURN 🚨
It’s time to come together as a town…to commit organized flamingo theft 🦩😏🎄
Meet BERNIE (pictured below 👇).
Bernie the Flamingo is currently vibing in front of our office and is now OFFICIALLY UP FOR GRABS. Tell your neighbors. Tell your enemies. Tell your group chats.
From now until Jan 1 at 11 AM, Bernie is fair game to be STOLEN—however…
HE MUST STAY IN YOUR YARD, VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD AND CITY OF AUBURN ONLY!
No porch goblins. No garage jail. No indoor witness protection programs. We want DRIVE-BY VISIBILITY.
🎄 THE LAW OF THE LAND (aka Don’t Ruin It):
• Keep Bernie visible FROM THE ROAD
• Keep him SAFE—no breaking the bird (he is plugged in, so unplug him safely)
• NO indoor hiding—seriously
• Keep Bernie moving, you can steal him MORE THAN ONCE A DAY.
We STRONGLY ENCOURAGE other local businesses to get in on the fun!
If Bernie ends up at your business, post him, tag us, drop clues, and show off your holiday spirit.
🎄 VERY IMPORTANT OR IT DIDN’T HAPPEN:
If you steal Bernie and put him in your yard, you MUST TAG OUR OFFICE Auburn Dental Aesthetics and POST HIM ON AUBURN CHIT CHAT.
Pics. Videos. Ring footage. Night shots. Dramatic poses encouraged.
If you don’t tag us…did you even steal him?? 👀
🎄RIDDLES & CLUES—NOT YOUR ADDRESS:
When Bernie lands in your yard, post riddles or clever clues about your STREET/CROSS STREETS.
✅ Fun hints
✅ Wordplay
✅ “If you know, you know” clues
🎄How do you know it’s THE Bernie and not an innocent flamingo bystander?
Bernie’s name is on his scarf and our office name is on his Santa hat. He’s certified.
💡 Bernie is LIT UP, so hop in the car, admire the Christmas lights, and go BERNIE HUNTING.
If he’s stolen—DROP THAT RING VIDEO.
If he’s in your yard—post pics, drop clues, let the kids join the madness, and SEND HIM BACK INTO THE WILD.
🏆 THE FINAL FLAP:
Whoever has Bernie standing proudly in their front yard at 11 AM on Jan 1 wins a special surprise, eternal bragging rights, and the undisputed title of AUBURN FLAMINGO CHAMPION. Winner announced Jan 5.
This is harmless. This is hilarious. This is peak small-town chaos.
Let’s bring Auburn together—residents, kids, and local businesses—one riddle, one yard, one flamingo at a time.
Merry Mischief, Auburn.
🦩🔥🎄
LET THE FLAMINGO-NAPPING BEGIN.
