Where would a Scottish Viking come across a flamingo? Imported, me thinks. Great looking design, though. Maybe they could focus more on the pin than the narcissist holding it.
Vikings traveled into the Mediterranean, Black Sea & up the Danube. There they encountered arabs and traded with them.
A lot of viking hoards contain arab silver coins and other trade goods.
Thats more like a heron or long necked goose.
They would not have seen a flamingo.
To my eye, that flamingo is a swan
