I liked your concept of the wine cork birdhouse. I have been wanting to do something with a wooden box one of my wines come in. Maybe I should see what I can do to make a winery birdhouse and see how the birds enjoy it.
Watch your birds to see who is waiting for 5:00PM to start looking for food. That is the bird looking for a box of wine.
