The House Wren is a small, energetic bird commonly found in North America. Measuring about 4 to 5 inches in length, it has a brown, streaked body and a short tail that is often held upright. These birds are known for their cheerful, complex songs and are often seen flitting about in gardens, parks, and wooded areas. House Wrens are cavity-nesting birds, often using old nests of other species or human-made structures. They primarily feed on insects and spiders, making them beneficial for pest control. Their adaptability allows them to thrive in various habitats, from rural to urban environments.
