The House Wren

Did You Know:

The House Wren can be found around cities, suburbs, towns, and any open area environments creating more opportunities for us to view them.

House Wren eat insects, snails, and spiders. They capture their food in the shrubs, the trees and on the ground.

They use the woodpecker holes or bird houses for their nesting sites.  The nest is built with dry, small sticks and others materials such as, feathers, hair, wool, spider cocoons, moss and trash.  After the male house wren builds his nest the female will inspect it. If she doesn’t agree with the construction of his nest she will throw all unwanted building materials to the ground.
