They are always on the fences in extremely wide open places. Such an amazing clarity to their song. It seems it mirrors the expansiveness around them.

We have an identical wren here in the USA that we call the “Carolina wren”. We’ve had a nesting pair near our house for over 50 years since the offspring tends to come back to its original nesting place year after year. It’s by far my favorite bird and the sound it makes is louder than any other bird in our region except maybe the corvids. Wonderfully presented and informative video!

I have a family of Carolina wrens nesting in a hanging resin birdhouse shaped like a fire helmet (I’m a volunteer), and I’ve had them nesting in other parts of my backyard over the years. Sometimes they take over a bluebird house, sometimes they nest in one of the hanging birdhouses, and one memorable year they chose a wooden flower box I had under my potting table on the deck. I hadn’t even known they were there until I was planting spring flowers in the pots on my deck and several juvenile wrens came hopping right up to me and watched what I was doing. Those cute little guys had absolutely no fear!

A pair of wrens returned this May to the same cactus plant, started busily building their nest. So sad to say that I made the mistake of moving the plant about an inch. It startled the bird sitting very close by, and they haven’t returned since. Makes my heart so sad that I did this…

Another poor little guy tried to make a nest on the back eave of my new chicken coop but the ledge wouldn't hold the material. There was enough moss laying on the ground to fill at least a 13 gallon trash can. I'm going to add a block that will fix that for them today when I'm there to add another roosting bar in the coop. Carolina Wrens we have here in north Georgia. Always cheers me up to watch them point their beaks to the heavens and sing to the Angels! Such a big voice from such a tiny little bird!

Where I live in North Carolina (U.S.A.) we have Carolina Wrens. I have been feeding all my wild backyard birds for over 20 years now. I always like to see my little Carolina Wrens. I have one Wren that almost every day sits on my BBQ grill and melodiously sings so beautifully. I have even taken video of him singing. A few weeks ago some Carolina Wrens found their way into my husbands workshop. They built a nest. We thought they only had one baby in the workshop. But, the next day I actually discovered four fledglings trying to find their way out of the workshop. So, I helped all the babies get out of the building. I don't know if they all survived once they got out, but at least they had a chance (once they got out of the building). But, every day I enjoy seeing my Wrens fly to the bird feeder for roasted unsalted peanut chips...which they love!!! Then they fly onto my back deck to break up the peanut chip and eat it. They truly are such adorable little birds...even when I walk past them and they loudly scold me...I still love them!

We have 2 nest boxes in the back yard. Either chickadees or house wrens use them each summer. Love both but the chickadees will always be my favorite, but not by much. We also have 5 feeders and one suet station all with different seeds. Seems like sunflower hearts are preferred by gold and house finches. When chickadee moms and/or dads bring their chicks to show them where to get lunch, and they were born and raised in our nest box it can’t get any better. So much joy and happiness. Only 30 years ago we didn’t even notice but holy smokes who knew? It’s an older people thing so thank you very much ! In mid May, we live in south central Minnesota, the summer migration is in full swing. They began stopping about 5 years ago and it’s been an annual event. Goldfinches, indigo buntings, rose breasted grosbeaks, Baltimore orioles, white throated and white crowned and Harris sparrows. Just in May we put out orange halves and grape jelly for the orioles. For 2-5 days it’s a mad house but the highlight of our bird watching for the entire year. Some birds make one visit and gone. The first year I had my bird book out to try to identify about half a dozen of mid size yellow birds with thick beaks. Ground feeders they were and “Holy cow!” Evening Grosbeaks and what a surprise. They’ve never returned. The house wrens eat insects and little green caterpillars and sing, sing, sing. Yep birds are for us old timers, and we’ll keep them.

Cool video. I've been attracting wrens to my yard for years now. (Carolina wren, looks almost identical to the ones in your video.) This year, for the first time I actually seem to have SEVERAL pairs happily living in my yard. One in one of my first wren houses and one took over a bluebird box. I'm delighted every year when they show up. Always a sad day when I realize they are gone.

Hey stranger 😊👋 I didn't know you were a fellow bird nerd too. I have some kind of wren living out back and out front. They scold each other first thing in the morning, and then scold us all the rest of the day 🤣👍 They will scold me for looking out the window pane in the door sometimes from inside the house haha. They are tiny, but mighty in their own minds ❤ Love the feisty ones !!

@@metalmamasue3680 Oh that's not scolding. That's the male proudly declaring HIS territory, and and HIS mate. They sure are cool. "bird nerd." Lol, yea kinda. Spotted the first junco yesterday. Winter is near.

Loved your video Liam. What a beautiful song the wren has. That male would have had to work his tail off with four families to support Thank you very much for a great informative video ❤❤

We made a Scare Crow for our vegetable garden. In the pocket of the Scarecrows Coveralls. Wrens made a nest. And hatched little ones. Such a pretty song they sing. Thank you for this information.

I had a pair of wrens nest in a hanging pot. It was a pleasure to see them. The males work very hard feeding the chicks.

I'm so glad of your videos on birds as I enjoy listening to the facts while watching them. I wonder if they have any ancient symbolism

I love the wrens…what so funny is they will nest any where!! I had one build a nest in a rolling hose reel, right in the small shelf on the handle area!! And they are loud when they sing!!

I live on the edge of a dry creek in the midwest US. I often sleep with my window open and in the morning am awakened by the song of the wrens. It is entertaining watching them squabble over nests.

We love our Wrens! We have been hosts for the last 3 years, for new babies. They use our garage, a lot! It always makes me nervous because we have to make sure someone is at home, all of the time. Plus, someone has to get up early ( 5AM) to open the door. Last spring they gave me a break. They dug out one of my Greenstalk planters and made nests. 😆They are great for the garden, because, they are often seen popping in and out of the plants cleaning up the bugs.
