One day I heard a beautiful song with so many changes and tracked it down. I was in the house and found a little Carolina wren sitting on a table I had by my bedroom window, which was open. It stopped for a few seconds when it saw me looking and then continued singing. I lay on the bed and listened to his amazing song for a long time and then his mate actually came up to him and they flew off. We were over the road truckers at the time. They lived in our carport for several years until we came home and I found part of his body. He had given his life to defend a fallen young. I cried.

Just yesterday, we had five chicks leave the nest that the parents set up in our messy shed. The parents were helping the chicks get to some nearby trees. It was so cool to watch and listen to their different calls! One chick wasn't quite ready to fly and had trouble getting out before dark so I put the nest in a box and put the bird in the nest (using gloves) and it slept safely over night. In the morning, as soon as I went outside, the parents were on my porch ready to help their chick. They got it to follow them on the ground and they would find bugs and feed it. Eventually, the rest of the chicks came over and the whole family of wrens went along hunting for food. The little chick was already getting stronger and getting close to flying. Success!

Amazing how the smallest and delicate creatures can bring such joy and warmth to us. Well done Leslie

2 days ago I was woken up by the sound of a Carolina wren on top of the camper singing

I would have been late for work the other day if it hadn’t been for the Carolina Wren that likes to perch on my back porch in the mornings.

I have fallen in love with a Wren, which has been named Wrenfro, that comes to our glass door and "crickets" at us for peanuts... after he gets it, he gives a chatter on the way out, which I interpret as a "Thank you"... he has brought his family recently too!

This is so well timed. I just turned on YouTube and our little wren is singing its heart out right outside of the window! They are so cute. Thank you for another great video!

Wrens are so adorable!
My favorite little birdie!

The most entertaining thing about a Carolina Wren is their affinity for alternative nesting sites. These birds will make a nest out of ANYTHING. If you leave your convertible top down, a wren will have a nest in your cupholders on your lunch break. Love these crazy birds!

Never seen a Carolina Wren, as l live in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙂 beautiful, ❤️🐤

[Danika_Nadzan]

My local pair have been scouting around my house for likely nesting spots, and I often hear their duet song as well as the rest of the male's repertoire. I love these feisty little birds, and always enjoy the chance to see their antics up close. Thank you for this video highlighting one of my favorites!

[lynncanada]

Love these little guys....like green tree frogs, tiny but mighty 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[mannabythemountain]

Wow! Thank you! I was trying to record a guitar hymn and this little guy was a loud voice and so beautiful!!❤

Different Wrens here, but I am always amazed at their amplitude for such small birds.

[joanedwards]

I always said it sounded like they were saying " I'm purtty, purtty, purtty!, really fast!I love that❤️

[martinvs]

We live in Southwestern Ontario and have one of these visiting our feeder daily this past week. What a real delight to welcome him onboard.

[jodyherr]

One of my favorites! I started watching this and my indoor cat came running up the hall looking for the wren. He kept looking at the window where the tree is where these guys hang out and tease him!

[sherrywebber]

The first time I followed a loud birdsong I was VERY surprised to see the small little package it came in too!! 🤣😂🤣 But now thanks to you I know I've been mainly hearing the males! ANY time my cats stroll through my yardc& getbto close to their nest ... scolding starts loud, strong, & "scary" (except to my cats) now I know THATS the male also & all this time I thought it was the Mama!! LOL Here in Florida's panhandle we have LOTS n LOTS of Carolina wrens. Our Mockingbirds imitate them sometimes 🤣😂🤣 I love learning from you!! 🥰🥰

[floydblandston]

I rarely hear most of these 'warning calls', since the Redwing Blackbirds take it upon themselves to warn *everyone* within range of 100 yards whenever I show up.😄

[mitchmatthews]

How beautiful! Because if the unseasonably warm weather up here in the Detroit area, I'm hearing the robin and red-wing blackbird calls lately.
