I think wrens are the most expressive birds ive seen apart from Chickadees... Wrens dont appear to be afraid of much and act incredibly brazen when around humans ..no fear ..only curiosity & need for survival.. I think this is very cool bird to learn about in the beginning stages of studying birds .. but i still always try and maintain a respectful distance.. The human Giant im sure i appear to be .. 💛😅
Teresa here. 🐦 🐺 🐾 Greetings, my little chickadee's.( couldn't resist) LOVE watching from my own LAIR, the backyard menagerie of wrens, mourng doves, blue jays, titmouse, cardinals, @chickadees. THEN the Flickers , the Downy woodpecker's etc.. lovin' the Suet blocks. COULD easily sit here ALL afternoon @ dusk...NO problem. Thank You for allowing us to enjoy your video's. Peace 💕 from W.Pa...
I have my 1st pair of House Wrens nesting in my yard in a bird house I put in a dogwood tree. I named the male Harold. He has such a beautiful song and is always chattering about. I made the mistake 2 days ago of playing house wren calls on my phone while sitting on the back patio watching them. He was not happy. He just started singing louder and was hopping from tree to tree trying to get a better look at me. Even after I stopped, he was following me around the yard 'yelling' at me lol. I didn't realize until after I watched some vids that these birds were so highly territorial! But they are a welcome addition to my yard, and I hope they chase away some of these House Sparrows and Starlings! My yard is infested with them!
I'm glad to come across your channel and hope you still have Terrance. I live on outskirts of Atlanta going toward Alabama and I have Wrens,Cardinals,Swallow, Georgia Brown Thrashers. They love most nuts, cashews,walnuts,almonds, and,pecans. Peanuts they don't like,must be allergic. 😄 I saw them eating cantaloupe, watermelon, and, strawberries I fed the rabbit who hangs around. You're right about how loud they can get. I have one who's scared me a few times by unexpectedly whistling close to me. I hear him off in the direction of my neighbor and she tells me "my" bird visited her. So funny that her daughter said that's Mrs.C's bird and don't mess with it. I've named a few and the rabbit is"Bird Bunny"due to coming around when I called the birds. I hope you enjoyed my little story 💕 I really love your channel.
I have a small ceramic house and every year I find stix in it but no birds. This year in passing A tiny brown head stuck out. I have been watching the antics. They certainly are not afraid of me. They are quite vocal and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for your.video!
I could hear the wrens in the neighborhood already, so I put up a little house. About a week later, there they were, fussing at me for being outside. I told them they would get used to the dog and me being around. I am SO EXCITED!!!! Their song is my favorite bird song!
Did they end up getting used to you? I have my 1st pair nesting this year in a birdhouse I put up in one of my dogwoods. I love listening to their songs and watching them flutter about.
Hi My first time on your UA-cam site, from Hillsborough NC I have a family of Wrens , His name is Window. He claimed that name from sleeping in my window ledge.
Thank You, I have a Ren make a nest in Germaine plants The wind blew it over, and the eggs rolled out on my table, so I pick them up and put them back in, we'll she is back, I ck tonight, and she flew at me..so I know she is coming back at night, and all is well...Love'nHugs Barbie
My cat brought me one today, she carried it in, set it down, I went to pick it up. It opened one eye and flew off. He’s hiding behind my dads bed as he had to give up the pillow but we have left the window open as wide as we can hoping he can find it come daylight. I love cats, but not the mass murderer aspect.
Doesn't opening his nesting box as he's building it deter him from using it? I always pretend I don't know there's a nest when I walk by my birdhouse so they don't get nervous.
These birds are extremely territorial and very destructive to other nesting birds. Not just other cavity nesters, but basically any other nest in what they perceive as their territory. They will kill the eggs and nestlings. They make a nest in just about everything and anything and are quite prolific. I discourage them from nesting on my property because they are more of a threat to native songbirds than non native species such as starlings and house sparrows. They are notorious for poking holes in the eggs of robins and bluebirds. While they are cute, we need to look at the whole picture.
Thank you so much! We just put up 2 houses and heard the warbling, which I had never heard before. I'm so excited!!!
I didn't realize a single bird would build a nest before finding a sweetheart. The mate who chooses Terrance is one lucky girl. ❤

Very Nice video! Thanks. I had a house wren prevent my bluebirds from having a second brood. They're fierce!

I just caught a glimpse of a wren by the mail box. So cute

Terence is a cool name, mainly as it just happens to be mine. So pretty cool.
You deserve more subscribers. Well done.
Blessings.

Hi My first time on your UA-cam site, from Hillsborough NC

Now I know why I don't have any Chickadees in my yard, because of the House Wren that's nesting near my house.
I’m here because one flew into my house!!!

If you have wrens, you won't have many song birds. Although they are not a song bird, even robins shy away from wrens.
A collaborative effort by multiple species of birds.. interesting
We have one building a nest in a bag of compost on my porch!
Nice video
Cool video 💛

"relatable" that was funny lol
I have a Wren too :)
Mine is loud to the point of being annoying.....and he is persistant
1 inch entrance hole for house wrens is plenty big enough!

Why not call him Jake? Then, when he's asked how he's doin' he can say, "Everthin's jake here; how you doon?"
Check out that flex at 4:35! lol
