A pink flamingo has treated itself to a reading break in the smallest room: balanced on its long legs, it unfolds a broadsheet and studies the day's headlines with genuine focus, bright pink feathers set sharply against the grey newsprint. The scene is as absurd as it is endearing, and simply opening the door is enough to raise a grin at this leggy wader taking its time, as unhurried as a regular at the Sunday-morning café.

This tongue-in-cheek piece belongs to our line of deadpan bird illustrations, where every species stars in its own little everyday comedy. You will find it alongside its feathered accomplices in our Bird Posters collection. Hung above the cistern, beside the basin or in a guest cloakroom, it instantly sets the mood for a space that refuses to take itself seriously and gets passing visitors talking.
