About the House Wren

The House Wren is a small, energetic brown songbird often found in backyards, gardens, and woodland edges. Though plain in color, it makes up for it with nonstop movement and a loud, bubbly song. Frequently seen hopping through shrubs or perched upright with its short tail cocked high, this wren is full of attitude and sound.
