I love Carolina Wrens so much! Love their birdsong. Bless their little hearts. Thank you for this lovely video! ♥️♥️♥️

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

I showed Jamie a video of one the other day, it was protesting about something it didn't like. All he could say was " I can see you now if we had them in our area. I'd never see you again. You be with them all of the time" hahaha 😄oh my gosh, he knows me too well. I love them. Thanks for the kind comment 💙💜

Ha! Brings back memories! Decades ago I was homeless, living in the woods for 4-1/2 years. While it was certainly an unhappy existence, one of the bright spots was how the wrens would visit me in my camp. Knowing nothing about these birds, I was amazed how cheeky and bold they were, closely examining me from inches away. The little varmints used to fill my hat with debris while it hung next to my lawn chair. I could never catch them in the act, but would discover their mischief when I grabbed it to head into town. Another fearless visitor was the ovenbird. They would stop in twice a year on their migration. If I sat still, they would often forage on the ground right at my feet. If I moved, they would only retreat a short distance, then get back to work. Once the local wildlife gets used to you being there 24/7, you're not considered a threat anymore. I even had bobcats stroll by a few feet away without even a sideways glance at me.

[@mjremy2605]

Great story, thanks for sharing. I hope you are not homeless any more.

What an experience 🥰

[@johnjude2685]

Wanted to say after going organic in my urban garden and 5 season with no bug killer I think I am seeing wrens in my yard and nesting in my yard more than before I always had wren boxes and gourges with tiny entrance but truly didn't have many move in. The last 3 years seems I'm having wrens yearly and some seems to must be raising several batches of young. Truly do I feel great seeing wrens enter my row of tomatoes and seeing them flying in in many trips I believe they are carrying away insects that trying to damage my veggies and are these birds aways busy . These are my favorite singers and very cute and clean them bugs from my garden. My little buddies 💕

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

@@johnjude2685 I love this! Such a nice example of the kind of relationship we can have with birds. I think you can safely say that they are helping keep the insects away. Awesome! I wish I had them in my area. What a time I'd have with them.

I recently discovered a wren nest, with babies, inside a hollow metal post, used as a steel target stand on my backyard shooting range. Not sure how long before they move out, but it sounds like I may have to build a new target stand if they're gonna stick around...

They are adorable! Here in Sydney Australia we have butcher birds which are a delight - I have one that sits on my kitchen windowsill when I go to the sink and it peers at me and hops along the length of the sill until I feed it a morsel. My husband reckons it's SOOO smart because it's got me well trained LOL. Loved this episode - will have to check out what I've missed. Thanks!!

Great vid as always. Summer 2022, Austin, TX - super hot, almost no rain. Wren nest on front porch. At one point, a baby was crying constantly. His 2 nest mates had died and had maggots. Just a nightmare. We took him out, put in new nest material. We kept a water bowl there for them. The parents resumed feeding. And soon he fledged. I hope he has a great life.

Carolina Wrens are so adorable. I always have a random one hanging about. Never more than one (possible it's a pair, but I only see one at a time). I had a Wood Thrush hanging out on my terrace yesterday - first time I ever saw one (my species count from my Connecticut terrace is up to 34 now) - if you don't know that bird, talk about CUTE! So small and round - reminds me of a cross between a C Wren and a White-Throated Sparrow - but a little bit bigger (and rounder). 😊😆💚

I rescued a male Carolina wren it got caught in a glue trap in my boss's garage. I got it unstuck from the trap but he lost his tail feathers. I called my vet. They wanted to put him to sleep so I decided to let him go in my back yard. And two months later he showed up on my patio with a female. They made a nest on my patio in a bird house. He had three babies wren's.

[@cheryl6716]

I absolutely love these friendly little birds! They have such a huge, commanding song coming from such an itty-bitty little bird. They do love filling up on the meal worms and grab their worms in between the Blue Birds, Nuthatch's, Tufted Titmice and Robin's grabbing them up too. The Bluebirds seem to think the mealworms are only there for them and try to run everything else off.

What fun little birds. One time at night, my sister opened the front door to grab a package and one shot past her ear upstairs, and into my room. It was an ordeal trying to get the lad out, but I got a tiny, striped feather souvenir out of it! My family still jokes about Carolina Wrens breaking into our house.

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

Hahahah oh my gosh, wow! That must have been something. I once had a Blue Jay in my home, in fact, it was Blue. I'll never forget it. I went on to bed the night before and I asked my husband to close the living room window before he went to bed. He forgot, and the next morning I heard some noise. Here was Blue inside trying to get back out but didn't know how to. He must have panicked. I had no idea how I was going to catch him. I just walked up slowly and gently put my hand out. At first, he tried to get away but then ended up in the palm of my outstretched hand. I slowly walked over to the window, he stayed perfectly still the entire time. I put my hand out the window and off he flew. All the other jays including his mate Sweet Girl were outside in the birch trees. What a story he must have told them. So sweet.

Everything about these birds is absolutely amazing and I will never get tired of watching them in my yard or footage of them on the internet!! They are so clever, cute, and have such adorable personalities. When I was a teenager our Carolina Wrens Jenny (who ate out of my hand!) and her husband Boogity would nest in various items we'd hang up for them. Jenny knew me so well she would let me take pictures of the babies every day. She was the best outdoor bird friend I've ever had and forever endeared Wrens to my heart.

[@katydidwhat6120]

Yes! I caught this just in time. I love when you talk about native southern (US) birds. My dad once had Carolina wrens nest in his lawnmower. Fortunately, the babies had long since fledged by the time he found out. 😆 These birds are quite bold once they get used to you. When I sit quiet after setting out peanut chips, they sometimes come right up close to me.

[@sherrywebber4013]

Again an amazing video of a familiar yard bird here at my home in Florida. I can't ever get used to the big full bird calls from such a tiny bird! She (Wrennie) nests in my yard every year producing 2 - 4 clutches a year. Fred helps her too and they have nested in the ceiling fan on the patio now for 6 years!! Beginning of February a baby ended up in my house .. had to chase the sweet little bugger down. So adorable.... put it under the shed with the others.

I absolutely love Carolina Wrens! They are so nosey and nimble. And yes, I accidentally trapped one in my garage last year, but thankfully I found him the next day and he was fine. :) And LOL at multiple choices of a house and a side entrance. Sounds like a human couple going house hunting. Once when I was growing up a pair nested in a concrete flower pot we had, dug down about a half inch into the soil, then built a dome over the top. Last year a pair nested in the rafters of my patio. When I'm digging around the yard I leave the insects laying around for the wrens and robins.

I've thrown peanut pieces to Carolina wrens from my window, and did so again just a few weeks ago, but they disappeared again. I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed how inquisitive they are. I had my window open and one flew inside my place and was scoping out my kitchen with the behavior of a bird looking for a nesting spot. I hang my feeders on a wire line and I once noticed one going down the line to inspect each and every feeder in a row (never seen that behavior before from other birds). It also inspected my tiny decorative birdhouse's tiny hole (keep in mind this entire tiny decorative bird house is about the same size of the mentioned Carolina wren visitor.

I was pretty touched. They didn't seem to mind me a bit and it was a working shop. They never came back there but it was pretty cool having that going on while I was building bicycles, motorcycles and cars and trucks.

[@lonzo61]

These are among the most fun birds to watch....and listen to. Their sounds and songs emote joy. What would life be without birds? I guess if the world never had any such creatures evolve, we wouldn't know any different. But I am glad we have them! Adding to my list of great calls and sounds would be: house wrens, song sparrows, red winged black birds, thrushes, screech owls, barred owls, crows, and so many others that can turn a dull moment or day, into something goose bump inducing, nostalgia producing and soothing. And I'm not even a bird watcher.

Wrens bring me so much joy! I've had a pair nest in the same flower pot on my porch for a few years. I leave the pot on a shelf all year, and this winter the pair decided to roost in it at night also. At dusk, the male will call loudly, like "okay, time for us to settle in for the night".

A few years ago, my cat was sitting by the window looking out at the porch when Carolina Wren fledgling saw him and, being curious, perched on the rocking chair where it could look in. The young wren made little cheeping noises and was soon joined by a couple of its siblings, who were all very excited about the cat. Soon, mama wren came over, saw the cat, and started making a staccato alarm call. The youngsters repeated her alarm, then they all flew off.

[@rpbajb]

My cat, Barko, snuck one into the house in his mouth. Unharmed, the poor bird proceeded to fly about the house trying to escape through the closed windows, pursued by Barko climbing up the drapes, pursued by my wife trying to save her curtains! It was a wild few minutes until we could calm everyone down. We always checked what Barko was carrying after that, but unbelievably, he managed to do it again. Sheesh!

What a super sweet bird! I love wrens!!! I saw a very cheeky tiny bird grabbing big walnuts from the squirrel nut bowl and dodging squirrels then gleefully flying off with his prize. He had this white streak near the eyes, tail up at 45 degrees, slender curved beak that was meant for insects not seeds, and wondered what bird that was. Not a finch with that beak. Looked like a chipping sparrow, but they are more docile and fat beak like all seed eaters. It turned out this was a Bewick's Wren! Bold as brass this tiny thing stealing nuts and ignoring the bird seeds. I love this guy. He hops around hoppity, hop, hop, hop, checks everything out, chirps his songs, and visits me daily. I have to put up nesting boxes. I must keep him around, my little Wren.

I was _just_ thinking about you and something you said the other day. You said once that "crows are, after all, song birds". I was in the yard doing gardening stuff and I heard a turkey (the gobble gobble gobble sound) and I'm thinking "there are no turkeys around here...no way, no how". Well sure enough, I waited and triangulated the sound to this crow up on a wire between a couple of Italian Cypress in the neighbor's yard. I have never before heard a crow make that sound but that is certainly the beast that was making the sound, I could see the throat move as it made it. Anyway, enjoyed the video on wrens. Wondering what the diff is between a Bewick's Wren, like we get here in California, and Carolina Wrens...they look very similar.

The Bewick’s Wren has a longer tail than a Carolina Wren, I believe, and the coloration in the Bewick’s Wren doesn’t seem to be as rustic-colored as the Carolina Wren. Also, your testimony on a Crow imitating a gobbling Turkey is amazing! 😲😱😃 Never heard of a Crow imitating a Turkey before; very interesting. 🤔🦃

Great video, we love our wrens! We have a pair that nest on a little platform under our deck each year. They have the sweetest (and loudest) song... And the cutest little hop about. We enjoy them so much. Think we might try a nesting box this year. Can't wait!! 💕

Hi Lesley! What timing you have! Opened my BBQ lid yesterday and it was full of moss and sticks etc. Just used it 2 days before. Took out the nest material last night to cook and then felt bad about all the Wrens hard work so I put it back in this morning and the pair added to it all day. It’s theirs as long as they need it now. Over the last 4 years they have tried to build in the garage and my shed. They are so industrious! Thanks for another great video! It was like you knew I found that yesterday. Lol

Hahaha that's awesome. Nice of you to have a change of mind. Those birds something else. What a time I'd have with them if they were here in my location. Glad you enjoyed. Have a great Sunday!
