Birds and bottles 2

The neighbour is very creative and makes lots of things out of other things. The bottles get cut in half, then made into boats. On the left of the photo you can see an unfinished one. Just below is a small pile of halved bottles. The person on the right is holding one of the birds and there is another one with a large beak just behind the glass. These are carved in such a way that when the wood is burned a little down the bird's back, the grain looks like feathers.

The photo on the right is very intriguing. One person is holding what looks to be a home-made flying swan. Next to that is one of the birds on its mount - note the feathered effect - and behind is...................the world of the weird................?

Lisbeth has made me re-open this post and edit it. She says it isn't 'the world of the weird'. What I should have said is: "Welcome to a house where creative people live".
