Crow Bottle Opener

Description

I am a Crow Bottle Opener. I’m a bird with no wings, how do you expect me not to drink my life away?

Curator’s Notes

You know what? For the longest time I was trying to open bottles with the beak of this crow bottle opener and I would just be struggling and embarrassing myself. Then I figured out it’s not the beak, its actually the back part of it that was designed to open bottles! Anyways – I don’t drink a lot of beers but when I do, I use this bottle opener and when I’m not opening bottles with it, it sits on a mantle with a few other collectibles. On another note, I’m not sure why this bottle opener is called a crow because it looks more like a toucan to me. Regardless, it’s really beautiful.
