How well do these function as corkscrews and bottle openers? If it looks cute, like the parrot, but doesn't do the job well (including being able to handle the item easily), then no thanks, it is just a gimmick.
some of theses are cute - but that parrot one is not worth it. my old boss gave me one exactly like that UO one (he used to wholesale them) and it works fine, not bad - not amazing. my favorite wine open is one a distributor gave me while i worked for a winery, the bottle opener part is made of two pieces that bend, so it is a lot more durable than any other wine opener i've used. the apple would be cool mounter to the edge of a counter or something.
