Wrens live in woodland edges, groves and very often in or near buildings in farms, towns and suburbs. Wrens lay around five to eight, more or less, usually seven, speckled, oblong to nearly spherical eggs which hatch after about two weeks incubation and young leave the nest in about another two weeks. They eat insects and spiders in trees, shrubs, brush piles and on the ground.

Wrens are a bubbly singer but really irritable. They will not share its territory with others of its kind and boldly challenges intruders near its nest. When scolding strangers its beak is wide open, its tongue vibrating, and body trembling with the violence of its effort.

Wrens are one ot the easiest birds to attract to houses in cities (probably next to Robins.) A favorable environment always helps increase chances. Plant trees, shrubs and gardens for cover. Male Wrens will build several nests for the female to choose from so provide several houses.

Suspend wren houses with a few inches of wire so that they swing from tree branchs or under eaves or mount nest boxes on trees, fences or walls between four and ten feet high with partial sun and shade. Remove the nests after the brood rearing seasons are over.
