      I love the little tufts of grass at the top.
      Nearly pointless except it looks neat and might deter a few drops of rain.

      it's probably hard to plan ahead what stuff it is going to find. So hoard first, build later!! I remember finding all sorts of stuff in a blue tit's nest. Animal hair, fibres/threads from clothes, pieces of plastic even, hay, feathers... whatever.

      ​@@hugomuller9373 I think they mean because it makes mounting the camera to get a good picture of the entire nest easier, while also keeping the camera high up so it doesn't get dirty.

    At the beginning of the video the bird was inspecting the house, looking from 1 side to the other, visually measuring the box, instinctively knows how big the sticks most be, and dividing the box with their visionary instincts oh how big the nest should be. Simply complex and smart.

    I was building an experimental aircraft in the garage and a house wren decided that a shelf by the tail was the ideal place for a nest.. As I was working on the aircraft she was busy building a nest and seemed unconcerned about my presence.. I got to see the whole process and the parents and babies were so cute.. I left the garage door open so she and her hubby could go in and out easily and restricted the work schedule on the airplane until everybody was grown and gone.. Amazing..

    I'm in central Illinois & my house wrens usually don't make it. My neighbor's free-range cat is the bane of my existence during the summer. He nabs them up as soon as they fledge. I thought I was doing good just putting sparrow guards over the entrances. Grrrr. You must have enough chemical-free native plants nearby to produce the number of caterpillars needed to rear a brood of babies. Good job!

      Hmm. I was inspired to put up a couple boxes for chickadees and wrens, but you're making me rethink my plans. My neighborhood has a few roaming cats, and I'd hate for native birds to put so much energy raising their babies only to feed a cat. I need to do some research and find places around the property that give fledgling birds some cover and escape routes. MY cats won't be an issue for them, they're indoor-only because I don't want them destroying the local ecosystem!

      Actually they’re not, just a similar species. The house wren was recently divided into multiple species, so this is a Northern House Wren(Troglodytes Aedon) while the one we have in our countries is the Southern House Wren(Troglodytes Musculus).

    There's got to be like a gazillion sticks there, that's a hard working bird right there.
