скворечник

English translation: birdhouse

Russian term or phrase: скворечник
По итогам гонки «Экспедиция­Трофи» 2006 года компания «1С» написала компьютерную игру «Экспедиция­Трофи». Она хорошо продавалась по всей стране. В 2007 году гонки не было, но мы организовали кругосветное путешествие. Два автомобиля стартовали из Москвы и двигались во Владивосток. В крупных городах мы давали пресс­конференции и развешивали скворечники — это всем очень нравилось. Журналисты ездили вместе с нами.

I assume these aren't birdhouses but something related to the race. Multitran has pigeon hole (усадочный дефект проката) in the auto field, but I have no idea what that is. TIA.

Asker: I stand corrected. Sometimes the simplest answer is also the correct one.

agree  Andrey Korobeinikov: И еще: организаторы гонки привезли в Тюмень несколько кормушек и скворечников, которые уже сегодня украсят деревья областного центра. "Это некоммерческий проект, — заметила Наталья Перцова. — Это для души, настроения и для птиц!". http://www.vsluh.ru
