[@WestVirginiaWildlife]

Fun fact: One captive Carolina Wren sang his song over 3,000 times in one day. If you would like results like this, check the links below. Camera: amzn.to/3P6KYYy Lens: amzn.to/3P7P0Aa Recommended Field Guide: amzn.to/3P7nDWJ (As an Amazon associate I earn from qualifying purchases).

They funny, i observe them close around my feeders and they have a different vibe than other birds but i love them and the sounds they make😊

[@WestVirginiaWildlife]

Yeah, their antics are distinct from most birds and they brighten the coldest winter days lol

Thank you for this interesting video. We have Carolina Wrens in Tennessee. I did not know that only the males sing. I also did not know that they are monogamous and that they mate for life. Fascinating. Thanks again!

I currently have a Wren couple nesting in between the rafter by the ceiling and the exposed puffy insulation in our basement. They have quite a personality and have been very interested in researching their ecology. I open the basement door every morning and the male frequently flies over my head to leave for food. The female has laid at least 3 eggs (as it’s hard to peek down into it’s very deep nest. ( my daughter had broken a window in basement/garage and within the week it took To replace it i obviously came upon the female hopping around clearly trying to get outside.now that the window is replaced they rely on me to keep the door open to get in and out. They have a certain energy of charisma that shows they work as a couple and have grown trust in me. I actually shine a flashlight into the nest while standing on a stepladder each day and it took a little time for me to be certain there were 2 birds. I named them Wren & Stimpy 😂 the female fans out her feathers behind her and lies low to cover her eggs I assume . When the male is “home” he positions himself at the very /front/top entrance of the nest. I am starting to recognize the sound of their voices when they do make one of their many many sounds - thanks for your share 🎉

Wow, what a great story! That's interesting that they learned to trust people rather than assume that we are out to kill them lol. I wish more birds were like that, it would make getting videos of them easier haha. Thanks for posting and the feedback 😊
