When we moved east I got a shock by these guys. I was sitting by my window and heard this very loud bird. I looked out, but I only saw the little bird, but then he sang! Yikes. We call him an opera singer because of his barrel chest, named ours Pavarotti. Love your channel ❤️
Such a wonderful video! This was the bird that “chewed me out”, when I was trying to right a (seemingly) decorative birdhouse in my garden. It had fallen over, and when I tried to prop it up, the babies inside (??) started to chirp. Then the mother sat on a branch, just a few inches from my head and chewed me out! I felt so bad.
lol they did the same thing to my dog😂 he walked by where they were in a bush and they (plus all the other little birds in the bush) started absolutely screaming at him😅 he looked so confused and embarrassed!!
We had a pair of Carolina Wrens nest in one of my flowerpots on my porch last year. We watched them build their nest and hatch a clutch of 5 eggs. We watched as both parents constantly fed their brood from sunup to sundown. We felt so blessed to have seen these little miracles, and are hoping they return to the same place this spring!
I have a few couples that live on my porches. You can almost set your watch by them. Every evening, they arrive to turn in for the night. My cats love watching them. You can hear them clearly even with doors and windows closed. They’ve made nests in plants, shoe boxes, porch curtains, etc. I have several bird houses hanging from the porches out of direct weather, but they nest where they want. Food is supplied all year round for all the birds here. And I look forward to hummingbirds returning. I’m starting to think word has gotten around that my place is a sanctuary for wildlife, lol. I love it!
carolina wrens are absolutely incredible these tiny little fluffballs are always hopping around and singing so loud it's hard to think the wren makes its sound
Year before last, a Carolina Wren nested in a trunk by my house. When the nestlings fledged, all four of the chubby fledglings came to my feeder together every day!
I love em. I had one come in my cabin when I was there and had the door open. It flew up on a book shelf, sat there and took a little nap while I went about my business. Woke up later and casually flew back out the door. One of my favorite birds ever since. 💗
We have a husband and wife pair that have been at our house for a few years. They have been in our house more times than we can remember. We keep our doors open on nice days and they will come in as they please. We call them our landlords, because it feels like they want us to move out, so they can move in. Once they even started bringing in pine straw and started to make a nest in a bowl I had on top of our fridge. They’re very bossy but they are also our favorites.
I been living in a tent for 20 months in southern New Jersey and I'm awaken by a friendly wren singing almost daily. He's now building a nest in the midsection of a wooden pallet used like a fence around my tent. Very neat birds to watch and listen to.
This little bird stole my heart with his big voice and cute upturned tail. I played a recording of their calls and they come right over to see who the heck is in their territory! So adorable and inquisitive! I love listening to their large repertoire of song! Great Video! To me it sounds like he says "Chris-to-pher, Chris-to-pher!" And "THE BIRDY, THE BIRDY, THE BIRDY-DO!!"
I do the same thing! I play bird sounds from my phone and the response is always exciting. I love the Wren. We are lucky enough to have several pairs that nest in our bird house and in other creative areas around the property.
I have been an avid birder since I was a young boy. At 63 y.o., I am still in love with our feathered friends. Carolina wren’s are at the top of my list as a favorite. They have quirky mannerisms and are amazing parents. The males are happy to entertain us with their beautiful songs, no matter the weather. I happily provide them live mealworms during their parenting periods and they are most appreciative. I have followed your channel for a few years now and I am never disappointed. Your knowledge, descriptions and love for these amazing feathered creatures come through clearly in ALL of your videos. Thank you and please continue bringing us your loving insights into our friends.. Happy Birding Lesley from one of your biggest fans!!!
I love your description of the little Carolina Wren. I think it's wonderful that you been a avid birder since a young boy. Wow the things you must have witnessed from out feathered friends. I can only imagine. The Carolina Wren is extremely likeable and it was such a fun time putting this video together. Definitley one of my top favorites. I just get such a kick out of their ways. Thank you for being a fan of my content for as long as you have. It's such a honor that these videos are liked by people like you who have long history with watching birds. Happy birding my friend. 🥰🐦
These are my favorite backyard birds! They seem to like close proximity to humans, and we have had them nest in hanging baskets on the porch, unused watering cans, atop electrical meter boxes, and in the entrance of defunct PVC drainage pipes several feet above the ground. They are quirky, chirpy, and delightful!
Carolina wrens are all over my neighborhood. They are very visible and always sing loudly for everyone to enjoy. They nested in a patio flower pot one year. Thank you for this video!
We had a beautiful Wren family roosting it up in our Gord-shaped nest this past spring.. just a few days ago the kids had returned to play in and around the Gord. It was the most wholesome thing to see them all return home, especially all together! 🥰 they have such cute and feisty personalities
Carolina Wrens are such lovable birds. If I could, I would want to hug and hold this bird, too. Something about these birds give me the warm fuzzies. 🥰
I am very new to birding (3 or 4 weeks because I’m a kid) and I want to find one of these cute birds. I’ve always loved animals but I just got serious about birding and photography.
If you live in the Eastern U.S. or in the Deep South, you’ll most likely spot one, or hear them sing. Start with attracting them with foods that Carolina Wrens like, like mealworms, peanuts, suet, or sunflower seeds. Or, take binoculars and something to visually record and find a park or wildlife reserve in the Carolina Wren’s range if Carolina Wrens are not in your area, and go from there. Hope you get a chance to see one and happy birding! 🐦
I’ve had one of these nest in a bag of potting soil I left open overnight, on top of a rake handle propped against a wall, on a wreath on the door we regularly use, and once inside a pair of boots. 😂 I love them though! Whenever I discover they’ve nested again in some spot with no concept of personal safety I do what I can to avoid disturbing them! Thanks for this wonderful video on these sassy lil guys 💕
I have a pair nesting in my yard every year. I love to hear them sing. They are very loud and you would think the sound is coming from a much larger bird. They help keep the bug population in check year round in my yard. South eastern Virginia
I live in Florida and Carolina Wrens were some of the first birds I learned to identify when I took up birdwatching during the pandemic lockdown. Thanks for sharing about these neat little birds!
Several years ago, we had flower pots with marigolds placed on our deck rail. A Carolina wren pair made their nest in one of the pots and successfully hatched their brood. At first after the eggs hatched, the parents would not bring food to the babies if I was out on the deck. However, after a few days, the internal signal to feed their young overrode their fear of me. They would go back and forth into the marigolds even when I was standing just a few feet away. It was a fascinating procedure to watch and they successfully fledged three young.
I'm so glad I watched this! Now I know what the little guys hopping around my garden are. That tea kettle call is unmistakable and I hear it every morning as my wake up call. 😊
Love the Carolina Wren. We’ve nicknamed him The Big Bopper! Been enjoying their entertaining habits for years! They are adorable and their song is a true delight!
I live in Raleigh NC area and have many of these little guys about - front porch, back porch, tree loaded yard...once you know their call you have to smile...talk about tiny and mighty!! ❤
What’s amazing to me is how a bird nest from little birds can be completely intact as it is woven together so perfectly. I love birds but I also love their fantastic engineering and building skills that they use in creating gorgeous woven nests that are lined with soft fluff.
The Carolina wren lives here in Missouri, and are close by all year long near the feeder, garden, wood pile, grill area…well, all over the yard and area. Nested in a gap in roof beam last year and reared young twice. Usually see them in pairs, always hunting and feeding each other. Love everything about these cuties! Thanks for the video.
I live in the triad heart of NC. I've got a pair that constantly sleep on my front porch at night. So often are they there that my brother and I can quite literally walk out the front door, have one turn to us, then turn away and puff back up to sleep when it's cold. Naturally, as much as I want to pet them, they're never approached close enough to try. They really do just get used to living wherever and don't move or anything if you don't scare em.
When I first started birding 2 years ago, I heard this adorable little bird with the big voice around my house. It took me a long time to hear him, find him, AND have my camera with me but finally got a great pic of him! Sitting on a branch, high up in a tree that was several hundred yards away. Luck was with me and the pic has him in mid-song, his mouth wide open as he declared that he owned that whole neighborhood, lol. He often makes a call that sounds like he's shouting "Pretty! Pretty! Pretty!" I always respond, Yes you're very pretty!
I love the exchange you have with the Wren singing, “Pretty, pretty, pretty” and the response you give back to the Wren. I found that to be funny and endearing. 😄😊🥰
I love those cute little birds! That classic Wren tail sticking up and almost a nervous twitch as they just can't sit still for a minute. They are quite vocal and I usually hear them before seeing them. ❤❤
What sweet angels! My dad has a feeder out back and there are lots of red and brown House Finches. They’re precious!! My dad is in not in the best health, and recently my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Bird watching is a simple daily pleasure for them and it is a treat to see them enjoying birds and nature. Love the channel and thank you for your knowledge!
I have a pair of Carolina wrens that have been making nests in my carport for the last three years, every spring. I've started looking forward to them every year, and even taken pictures of Mama Wren on her nest. They love to visit my firewood shed, too, now I know what they're looking for. This video is great because it's giving me ideas on how to be even more helpful for my little Wren family. I love them too!
These feisty little birds are definitely one of my favorites ,they have so much character,even in the dead of winter when most birds are silent you can hear their beautiful songs.
One of my very favorite birds of all time! I'll never forget the first time I saw one -- I was totally captivated by this cinnamon colored ball of feathers with the striking white eyeliner. And then I heard him, sing!! Everytime I hear their call, I pause and look around for them. Makes me smile every single time. Thank you, Leslie!
My backyard spread has attracted a very fine Carolina Wren. They have a fun song and the cutest cocked tail. He was foraging and happily snatched a cricket.
This is one of my all time favorite birds. Along with the Bluebird and Black Capped Chickadee. These wrens have the most beautiful song I think. Just lilts through the air. Thanks for sharing this video of the adorable bird. 💗😊
We see these little darlings all the time here in Baltimore City. I am a beekeeper and the wrens are constantly eating the dead bees from around our yard...we have and endless supply of food for them.
I love my Carolinas. They seem happy with a variety of foods- peanut butter balls, mealworms, seed cakes and sometimes dog kibble. Looking forward to spring babies. Thank you, Leslie!
Just love Carolina Wrens! We have an adorable pair, here in Western New York, that hang out on our deck, the shrubs around it, and our feeders. Always a joy to see them! Thanks for the great video, Lesley!😊❤️
If you liked the video the best way to support the channel is by SHARING it with other fellow birders. For anyone interested in official LesleytheBirdNerd merchandise www.lesleythebirdnerd.com/ I appreciate each and every one of your support and I hope you enjoyed the show!
One showed up at my platform sunflower feeder in Central VT. This year, we've seen two together. Thx for the info! The audio caught my cat's attention!!
I used to only hear this bird when I was in Carolina. I started hearing it in the city in VA last year and wondered why. Went to country roads to see they cut most of the woodlands. It explained a lot for my particular area
Hey, I’m hearing one at night in NoVA. Im pretty certain, I think it’s a male searching for a mate. I might be completely wrong, but identified by sound
This was the first bird I encountered when we moved from MN to SC. Also, our state bird😊. I found this bird to be the least shy in SC. They really do like odd places to nest! I constructed slate stairs in my back garden. I see them sneak in between the step and small supportive boulders. They sing while perched on our back porch furniture. Their song is one of the loudest😁
I had one walk into my house, fly up to a picture frame, and fly out. The pair will both sit on my deck, I get serenaded. Love these birds. Thanks for the video
What a cute, sassy & dress easy going little bird (when it comes to nesting). Love their songs, that they mate for life & both work feeding their babies. Also appreciate so much that they like insects I don’t want to see close: spiders, cockroaches, etc. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us & to those that made it possible. Wish I had them in my area! 💖
These are my favorite backyard birds. They're so cute with their upward tails and white "eyebrow" feathers. Two years in a row we had them nest somewhere nearby and they would all come to my suet feeder in a row with the little babies hopping behind mom or dad along the top of my fence. They're a true joy.
I agree. The upright tail, curved, probing bill, and the eyebrow stripe adds to their cuteness. When they look chubby, that turns the cuteness factor up to 11. 🥰 That’s so sweet that you got to see a Wren family two years in a row. By the way, I love your profile picture. A very cute painting of a very cute bird. ☺️🐦😍
I can confirm these little guys are curious and are not shy. The only bird I’ve ever had to fly into our house! He was safely caught and put back outside. Little dude still came and hung out in our front door wreath for days. I think he was mad at being caught and wanted to yell at my husband after the incident 😆
This is my favorite bird by a looooooong shot. Such a big set or pipes in a tiny bird and oh what a song it has. We’ve had a nesting pair in the top area of our propane tank for over 40 years. Always inquisitive and investigating every nook and cranny of our home and surrounding gardens.
These little birds are a joy to me here in Virginia! They almost always nest on my porches, in front door wreaths and flower pots...the makes often sing Jer-e-my Jer-e-my!!!!
Thank you - that was so interesting! "Our" wren over here, the eurasian wren, has a very different song: blaringly loud with rolls and trills. So loud for such a little bird! In German the bird is named "Zaunkönig" which means "King of the fence".
He chased off my favorite catbird whom i shared a friendship for years, and now perches on the oriental bittersweet creeping up onto my deck and yells at me all day long.
Jenny Wrens, as my grandfather called them, have been a very familiar little bird to me since childhood. Always nearby, nesting in the craziest places. Scolding the cat and hopefully keeping the kids safe during that first day of "flight school." Their song always brings a smile to my face.
My son was opening the garage door and sitting next to him was a Carolina Wren. The wren waited patiently until the door open went inside, scrambled around, got a meal of a few sprickets, went up to my son gave a little thank you chirp and flew away. I love these birds after visiting the bird feeder they come up on my deck to get a drink and a bath and sing a song or two.
Omg my favorite. They remind me of chipmunks 😄 cutie pies. I hope my two have so many babies. Great videos. The footage of the babies is priceless 😃 thank you 🙏
I live in Southern New England and have been lucky to hear their cheerful tea kettle tea kettle tea kettle outside often. I love how the tail feathers stick straight up, they are adorable!💚
Once while I was on my front porch with my tablet, one came to sit right on my tablet to just stare at me. I held my breath and stared right back. I have been in love ever since!
Yes, as some of the other commentors say, the Carolina Wren is a joy to hear sing. I remember hearing them for the first time and wondering for days which bird was making such a pretty sound. Everytime I hear them now it brings a smile.
Thanks! Yes, they always nest in our 5th wheel hitch if we leave it uncovered for them (we are currently park hosts at Brazos Bend State Park in Texas). We currently have 3 "hitch babies." ❤️
A very enjoyable video indeed. Thank you, Lesley! Here at our home in North Carolina we daily enjoy our Carolina wrens as they dart around our yard and sing so wonderfully on our back deck.
I was lucky enough to hear and see one in Caissie Cape, New Brunswick last year, they aren't very common in the area I live in, and i was there on vacation. The call really startled me as the bird was hidden nearby in an old thicket, very loud three part call.
Always good videos and lots of bird facts! Lesley does a wonderful job. She's an asset to RUclips! I can now distinguish between different bird calls and recognize most. I look forward to every new vid. Great job Lesley and thanks for sharing!
Last summer we had our first Wren sighting on our feeding deck. It was just as the sun was starting to settle and the Wren was comfortably hanging out between the folds of our deck umbrella. He/she stayed there for close to one hour but then left for the evening. I was behind excited!

You do an amazing job telling about these beautiful birds!
Aww Terry, thank you very much. You do too! :)
Birds walking down
@@LesleytheBirdNerd I love this cute little brown bird 😍🥰
Thank you again and again…Lon
Right?! I enjoyed your footage, Birds Walking Down 🤗 the wren family at the feeder was precious

I honestly wonder if these guys are the loudest bird by size.
That's awesome
@@RobertKaucher I think they are part bird, part loudspeaker.
I love them!
That’s so sweet that you called your backyard Wren Pavarotti. A fitting name for a chubby yet beloved belter of a birb. 🥰🐦
Such a ringing song for such a tiny bird. Just beautiful.
Such a wonderful video! This was the bird that “chewed me out”, when I was trying to right a (seemingly) decorative birdhouse in my garden. It had fallen over, and when I tried to prop it up, the babies inside (??) started to chirp. Then the mother sat on a branch, just a few inches from my head and chewed me out! I felt so bad.
I have had similar chewing out Carolina wrens.
Oh yes, wrens in general love to scold us humans, and each other 😂 Love these feisty little birds ❤
lol they did the same thing to my dog😂 he walked by where they were in a bush and they (plus all the other little birds in the bush) started absolutely screaming at him😅 he looked so confused and embarrassed!!
We had a pair of Carolina Wrens nest in one of my flowerpots on my porch last year. We watched them build their nest and hatch a clutch of 5 eggs. We watched as both parents constantly fed their brood from sunup to sundown. We felt so blessed to have seen these little miracles, and are hoping they return to the same place this spring!
Did they return this year? We have a pair on our porch and their babies just took first flight today! Hope they come back next year
How did you water your plant? I have a wren family in my flowerpot now and I don’t want to lose my flowers
We love our wren friends. They are so fussy and bossy and cheerful sounding.
They sure are bossy
This bird seems to have just moved into my NE USA area. Thanks for the video.
I have a few couples that live on my porches. You can almost set your watch by them. Every evening, they arrive to turn in for the night. My cats love watching them.

carolina wrens are absolutely incredible

Such a big sound from such a small bird! They are the violin of the bird world.
Year before last, a Carolina Wren nested in a trunk by my house. When the nestlings fledged, all four of the chubby fledglings came to my feeder together every day!
I have contractors building an enclosure near my bird feeder, and this cute bird tried to go into the tool bag while they are building.
I love em. I had one come in my cabin when I was there and had the door open. It flew up on a book shelf, sat there and took a little nap while I went about my business. Woke up later and casually flew back out the door. One of my favorite birds ever since. 💗

The official bird of South Carolina! Like the Carolina wren, we're a small state with a lot of charm!
I been living in a tent for 20 months in southern New Jersey and I'm awaken by a friendly wren singing almost daily. He's now building a nest in the midsection of a wooden pallet used like a fence around my tent. Very neat birds to watch and listen to.
Are you still tenting it? Hope your safe and healthy.
God bless your sweet soul, and I pray, in Jesus Name, that you are blessed with REAL shelter very very soon!! Amen.
This little bird stole my heart with his big voice and cute upturned tail. I played a recording of their calls and they come right over to see who the heck is in their territory! So adorable and inquisitive! I love listening to their large repertoire of song! Great Video! To me it sounds like he says "Chris-to-pher, Chris-to-pher!" And "THE BIRDY, THE BIRDY, THE BIRDY-DO!!"

My favorite bird. They are fearless.
I am very new to birding (3 or 4 weeks because I’m a kid) and I want to find one of these cute birds. I’ve always loved animals but I just got serious about birding and photography.
Keep at it, there are so many new experiences in store for you!

Thanks guys!
She is my absolute favorite -
And I have so many favorites!
My absolute favorite bird! They nest on my back porch every single year! My favorite!❤️

Man these birds really pack it on. Chubbiest little bird I’ve ever see. I doubt many of them starve to death.
I'm so glad I watched this! Now I know what the little guys hopping around my garden are. That tea kettle call is unmistakable and I hear it every morning as my wake up call. 😊
All❤so beautiful.
I love these guys! They are unbelievably loud for their size. It's hard to understate just how loud the Teakettle call is if you're close by.
You are right 👍 they are favorite bird too. Thank you for sharing
Love the Carolina Wren. We’ve nicknamed him The Big Bopper! Been enjoying their entertaining habits for years! They are adorable and their song is a true delight!
We have two that come to our deck, we call them Kevin Bacon and Billy Elliott.
Love these guys...popups ❤️

I personally love all small, round, hopping, chirpy birds. Sparrows and wrens are basically the epitome of adorable to me.
These feisty little birds are definitely one of my favorites ,they have so much character,even in the dead of winter when most birds are silent you can hear their beautiful songs.
One of my very favorite birds of all time! I'll never forget the first time I saw one -- I was totally captivated by this cinnamon colored ball of feathers with the striking white eyeliner. And then I heard him, sing!! Everytime I hear their call, I pause and look around for them. Makes me smile every single time. Thank you, Leslie!
My backyard spread has attracted a very fine Carolina Wren. They have a fun song and the cutest cocked tail. He was foraging and happily snatched a cricket.
This is one of my all time favorite birds. Along with the Bluebird and Black Capped Chickadee. These wrens have the most beautiful song I think. Just lilts through the air. Thanks for sharing this video of the adorable bird. 💗😊
So glad that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the nice comment 🐦🥰
I regularly get scolded by both wrens and chickadees 😂 love the feisty little birds with the big sounds ❤
I spent last winter in Delaware and fell in love with those wrens.
We see these little darlings all the time here in Baltimore City. I am a beekeeper and the wrens are constantly eating the dead bees from around our yard...we have and endless supply of food for them.
I love my Carolinas. They seem happy with a variety of foods- peanut butter balls, mealworms, seed cakes and sometimes dog kibble. Looking forward to spring babies. Thank you, Leslie!
I've seen different birds eating dog food over the years. 😂 My grandma had so many birds she gave them leftovers and often, they ate them too.
Just love Carolina Wrens! We have an adorable pair, here in Western New York, that hang out on our deck, the shrubs around it, and our feeders. Always a joy to see them! Thanks for the great video, Lesley!😊❤️
Aww, I'm in WNY too and I never got a pair. Jealous!
We had a pair of these take shelter under our front porch during a hurricane/tropical storm a few years back. They are super cute.

Thanks Birds Walking Down!
Wow! Stunning! Thanks to you and all that participants!
@@cherie4868 how awesome to have those wrens. They are cool.
One showed up at my platform sunflower feeder in Central VT. This year, we've seen two together. Thx for the info! The audio caught my cat's attention!!
I used to only hear this bird when I was in Carolina. I started hearing it in the city in VA last year and wondered why. Went to country roads to see they cut most of the woodlands. It explained a lot for my particular area
Hey, I’m hearing one at night in NoVA. Im pretty certain, I think it’s a male searching for a mate. I might be completely wrong, but identified by sound
This was the first bird I encountered when we moved from MN to SC. Also, our state bird😊. I found this bird to be the least shy in SC. They really do like odd places to nest! I constructed slate stairs in my back garden. I see them sneak in between the step and small supportive boulders. They sing while perched on our back porch furniture. Their song is one of the loudest😁
I always enjoy your videos. I get kind of emotional watching. Don't know why...
I had one walk into my house, fly up to a picture frame, and fly out. The pair will both sit on my deck, I get serenaded. Love these birds. Thanks for the video
What a cute, sassy & dress easy going little bird (when it comes to nesting). Love their songs, that they mate for life & both work feeding their babies. Also appreciate so much that they like insects I don’t want to see close: spiders, cockroaches, etc. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us & to those that made it possible. Wish I had them in my area! 💖
Love it when they "borb" up into feather balls with beaks and a raised tail 😄
These are my favorite backyard birds. They're so cute with their upward tails and white "eyebrow" feathers. Two years in a row we had them nest somewhere nearby and they would all come to my suet feeder in a row with the little babies hopping behind mom or dad along the top of my fence. They're a true joy.
I agree. The upright tail, curved, probing bill, and the eyebrow stripe adds to their cuteness. When they look chubby, that turns the cuteness factor up to 11. 🥰 That’s so sweet that you got to see a Wren family two years in a row. By the way, I love your profile picture. A very cute painting of a very cute bird. ☺️🐦😍
Wrens are so cheeky, I love their almost spherical bodies 🥰 We have these little balls of attitude in the UK aswell
I can confirm these little guys are curious and are not shy. The only bird I’ve ever had to fly into our house! He was safely caught and put back outside. Little dude still came and hung out in our front door wreath for days. I think he was mad at being caught and wanted to yell at my husband after the incident 😆
Hahaha that is so darn cute and funny. 😆
Yep, they sure do like to yell at each other & humans 😂😂 I adore the wrens in my area. So loud and mighty in their own minds, for such small birds 😊
I love grumpy looking chubby birbs!
Lesley I am very happy today, I saw my first Hermit Thrush today thanks for the cool video, I hope I will see a Carolina wren this year, Happy Birding
I hope so too!
Congrats on seeing a Hermit Thrush for the first time! Also, best of luck to you on seeing a Carolina Wren this year! 😉🐦☘️
I love these little guy’s! I had two apple trees in my yard and they kept my apples bug free! Nesting in my close line poles!
This is my favorite bird by a looooooong shot. Such a big set or pipes in a tiny bird and oh what a song it has. We’ve had a nesting pair in the top area of our propane tank for over 40 years. Always inquisitive and investigating every nook and cranny of our home and surrounding gardens.
Hahah they are something else. I really like them 🥰🐦
Every day this summer a Carolina wren comes on to my deck and sings. It’s delightful!
These little birds are a joy to me here in Virginia! They almost always nest on my porches, in front door wreaths and flower pots...the makes often sing Jer-e-my Jer-e-my!!!!
They will indeed nest in almost anything. Love these little birds.
Thank you - that was so interesting! "Our" wren over here, the eurasian wren, has a very different song: blaringly loud with rolls and trills. So loud for such a little bird! In German the bird is named "Zaunkönig" which means "King of the fence".
“King of the fence”. Lovely regal name for a small but bold bird. 🐦👑 🥰
For sure, the wren is a noisy little so and so !
He chased off my favorite catbird whom i shared a friendship for years, and now perches on the oriental bittersweet creeping up onto my deck and yells at me all day long.
Jenny Wrens, as my grandfather called them, have been a very familiar little bird to me since childhood. Always nearby, nesting in the craziest places. Scolding the cat and hopefully keeping the kids safe during that first day of "flight school." Their song always brings a smile to my face.
My son was opening the garage door and sitting next to him was a Carolina Wren. The wren waited patiently until the door open went inside, scrambled around, got a meal of a few sprickets, went up to my son gave a little thank you chirp and flew away. I love these birds after visiting the bird feeder they come up on my deck to get a drink and a bath and sing a song or two.
I LOVE ALL species of birds, but these little babies who sing their little hearts out hold a very special place in my heart!!! ADORABLE!!!! ❤💖❤💖❤💖❤
My favorite little bird. We have one nest in the porch light and two in the garage.
Omg my favorite. They remind me of chipmunks 😄 cutie pies. I hope my two have so many babies. Great videos. The footage of the babies is priceless 😃 thank you 🙏
I hope yours have lots of babies too. Thanks so much for the kind comment. 🐦🥰
I have one Carolina Wren who I can always find looking at his reflection in my car’s side mirror. He knows he’s a handsome little guy ❤
I live in Southern New England and have been lucky to hear their cheerful tea kettle tea kettle tea kettle outside often. I love how the tail feathers stick straight up, they are adorable!💚
Once while I was on my front porch with my tablet, one came to sit right on my tablet to just stare at me. I held my breath and stared right back. I have been in love ever since!
Yes, as some of the other commentors say, the Carolina Wren is a joy to hear sing. I remember hearing them for the first time and wondering for days which bird was making such a pretty sound. Everytime I hear them now it brings a smile.
Fearless bold little bird.
Thanks! Yes, they always nest in our 5th wheel hitch if we leave it uncovered for them (we are currently park hosts at Brazos Bend State Park in Texas). We currently have 3 "hitch babies." ❤️
That is awesome!
@@LesleytheBirdNerd cool 😎 video Lesley ☺️
@@LesleytheBirdNerd birds are amazing 🤩😍
@@micahbirdlover8152 yes they most certainly are 🥰🐦
@@LesleytheBirdNerd I've ever told you I love birds🥰
Honestly, this bird has a great voice
My Favorite.. Thank you so much for this video.. 🙏🏻
A very enjoyable video indeed. Thank you, Lesley!
Here at our home in North Carolina we daily enjoy our Carolina wrens as they dart around our yard and sing so wonderfully on our back deck.
Wonderful!
I was lucky enough to hear and see one in Caissie Cape, New Brunswick last year, they aren't very common in the area I live in, and i was there on vacation. The call really startled me as the bird was hidden nearby in an old thicket, very loud three part call.
I love these little birds! Have many of them here in NC!❤️
Always good videos and lots of bird facts! Lesley does a wonderful job. She's an asset to RUclips! I can now distinguish between different bird calls and recognize most. I look forward to every new vid. Great job Lesley and thanks for sharing!
Wrens are a favorite 🤩
Last summer we had our first Wren sighting on our feeding deck. It was just as the sun was starting to settle and the Wren was comfortably hanging out between the folds of our deck umbrella. He/she stayed there for close to one hour but then left for the evening. I was behind excited!
