    I was tired of bugs in my house so I got a house wren. I do every year.
    Nice work!

    Thank you so much for sharing this video! I’ve been trying to figure out what type of bird was in my backyard birdhouse. The House Wren it is! We just love watching this bird family interaction.

      Hi Anne, thank you. Sorry to hear they chose such an inconvenient nest location.

    We had House Wren Birds nesting and breeding in a flowerpot in the wardrobe. This is now the 2nd brood in a year. Luckily the young animals are very safe!

      That is good to hear. If you have a long growing season and/or lots of insects (food) wrens can have a second brood.

    Do house wrens have more than one brood in a season? The young wrens have just left the nest and there is plenty of summertime left (its now the end of July). Watching them has been very entertaining.

      Good question. They can sometimes have a second brood, but at this time of the season, I think it is unlikely. If they do have a second brood, let me know, just for expanding my own knowledge. If you don't mind me asking, what state or country are you in?

      @@odinsworkshop5335 I'm in Peterborough, Ontario, north of Toronto. My wren box has had a family of chickadees for the past couple of years. This year has been the first for the wrens. Thrilling!

    Is it necessary to clean out the nesting box after each brood, or can the nest be left in place for future use? We only had one chick this year.

    • @odinsworkshop5335
      @odinsworkshop5335  3 роки тому +1

      John, I usually clean out the nest box at the end of the season and remove the nest, spiderwebs, etc. Some people remove the nest after the birds have fledged though. I also add half an inch of fresh wood shavings to the bottom, but that isn't necessary. The wren will remove some shavings before building the nest.

    The only problem I have with the Wren is the fact that they kill Chickadee birds and destroy their eggs to take over their house/nest.

    • @odinsworkshop5335
      @odinsworkshop5335  Рік тому

      House wrens can act aggressively and nest sites can be at a premium in certain locations. House wrens are native species in our area and nature can sometimes be cruel. I remember my grandfather sharing some words with me about house wrens while he checked on his bluebird houses, so you are not alone in your feelings. I hope you have a more positive experience next season!

      You might try using a wren guard. You can make a wren guard from an old milk jug or even from cardboard. The tricky part is knowing when to put the guard on and when to take it off.
