I recommend pushing them down into the ground a little further than you would a plastic flamingo. Flamingos are tall and elegant. Vultures and buzzards are lower to the ground and lack that picturesque look that flamingos have. Next, you might want to add some other Halloween decorations around the flamingos just for the finishing touch. Happy Halloween!
