Does anyone know the bird and cage tradition after sharing a bottle of champagne?
Yes, as far as I have heard it is a French tradition known as, "des oiseaux et cages." It goes in that whomever opens a bottle of champagne gives the other drinker an option to take the wire cage or the cork (the bird). You then must agree to hold onto either object until you see each other again (this is usually done between two people who don't see each other often). If upon seeing each other again one person can produce their object and the other cannot, then the one without their piece must buy the next bottle of champagne.
Is Yvresse and Champagne the same fragrance?
Yes it is! Not sure exactly why the name changed - probably due to Champagne being a trademarked name these days by the wine makers in that region. The bottle is still the same (resembling a champagne cork with wire retainer).

Can hamsters break through wire?
Usually it will depend on the type of hamster you get, but they are smart enough to not chew on the wood cage. If you still feel uncomfortable about a wood cage get them a wood piece for them to chew on. But the best thing for them is a plastic starter kit from Petco, not only does it come with a wheel, water bottle, but it also gives you food, treats, and bedding. for me a plastic cage would be much better.

When opening a bottle of champange you should always untwist the wire hook remove the wire and foil and then?
My method of opening a bottle seems to work. I use my thumbs on both sides of the cork and slowly move the cork up and working it out of the bottle. I have never had one pop out or shoot out the champagne, but I think the key is that I do it slowly and that allows the pressure in the bottle to become less as the cork is moved up. Or try this (depending on the results you want to achieve): After removing the wire and foil, the cork can removed two ways, the "Hollywood-movie" way ("winning-team-locker-room method) which is to grip the bottle at the neck, shake it up and push the cork out with the ends of your thumbs (while aiming the bottle at something that is not living). This will cause a great pop, and you will lose most of the champagne in a great gush. If, however, you actually wish to drink the champagne, then open it the civilized (classy-restaurant) way, by wrapping a tea towel around the neck. Hold the end of the towel over the cork with one hand, while tilting the bottle slightly and aiming it away from living things, then, while gripping the cork with the toweled hand, twist the bottle (not the cork) with the other hand, and voila! The cork will pop out, and most of the champagne should remain in the bottle if you have chilled it sufficiently and have not shaken the bottle.
How can you be killed by a champagne cork?
You could get struck in the temple and it could kill you if it was being popped out of the bottle. It could plug your air pipe if you swallow it. The Starship Enterprise could teleport it into your heart. That would be bad.
