"When pigs fly" is a way of saying that something will never happen.
A symbol of an impossible event coming to pass. The popular saying "it will happen when pigs fly" or when pigs have wings, is traditionally used to mean that the specified event will never occur.

I can remember as a child asking my father for one thing or another only to hear him answer, "when pigs fly". Much to my dismay, I learned quickly that I was never going to receive what I had asked for.

The flying pig can also be a wonderful symbol for achieving the impossible. A celebration of sorts, that you were able to create a positive change to your current situation. I will lose that weight, or change my attitude when "pigs fly". Well now you have and you can stand proud and display your "flying pig" as a symbol of your accomplishments.

Our little "flying pig" ornaments and plant stakes can also put a smile on the faces of your friends and family, young or old. Now isn't that smile worth a thousand words?
