Inflatable flying pigs were one of the staple props of Pink Floyd's live shows. The first balloon was a sow, with a male pig balloon later introduced in their 1987 tour. Pigs appeared numerous times in concerts by the band, promoting concerts and record releases, and on the cover of their 1977 album Animals.
The image rights for the pigs passed to Roger Waters when he split from the rest of the group,[1] though the pigs continued to be used by both Pink Floyd and Roger Waters in their gigs after his departure.
