he may be a retired spy but that doesn't mean he didn't totally steal all the office supplies on his way out. each flamingo is a survalence bot with cameras in their eyes and all kinds of sensors from motion to heat detection. if a flamingo detects an unregistered person they'll attack them and attempt to scare them off the property. they always stop right on the property line so as long as you stay on the sidewalk your safe from the barrage of pecking and pokey steak legs. they were originally meant to be spread out all over the county to spy on specific targets, but they were discontinued after they ended up being too suspicious and attracting curious kids to the haunted flamingo houses.
