Ha! Brings back memories! Decades ago I was homeless, living in the woods for 4-1/2 years. While it was certainly an unhappy existence, one of the bright spots was how the wrens would visit me in my camp. Knowing nothing about these birds, I was amazed how cheeky and bold they were, closely examining me from inches away. The little varmints used to fill my hat with debris while it hung next to my lawn chair. I could never catch them in the act, but would discover their mischief when I grabbed it to head into town. Another fearless visitor was the ovenbird. They would stop in twice a year on their migration. If I sat still, they would often forage on the ground right at my feet. If I moved, they would only retreat a short distance, then get back to work. Once the local wildlife gets used to you being there 24/7, you're not considered a threat anymore. I even had bobcats stroll by a few feet away without even a sideways glance at me.
Great story, thanks for sharing. I hope you are not homeless any more.
@@mjremy2605 No, I've been living in a house for almost twenty years and I'm doing my best to live frugally and debt-free. However, with the way politics, society, and the economy are going, I'm not very optimistic about the younger generation's future prospects. I predict the rise of permanent third-world style shantytowns in America soon.
Nature is amazing and it draws you close to good experiences. Please take care of yourself. I am positive there are people who love you and pray for you. Don’t give up! Be happy!
I hope you have a wonderful life , I feel sorry for anyone without a home, take care my friend.🏴🏴🏴🏴
I rescued a male Carolina wren it got caught in a glue trap in my boss's garage. I got it unstuck from the trap but he lost his tail feathers. I called my vet. They wanted to put him to sleep so I decided to let him go in my back yard. And two months later he showed up on my patio with a female. They made a nest on my patio in a bird house. He had three babies wren's.
You produce the most enjoyable videos, Lesley!
I'm really happy that you enjoy them. Thank so much 🥰
I came here to say that!
I love Carolina Wrens so much! Love their birdsong. Bless their little hearts. Thank you for this lovely video! ♥️♥️♥️
I showed Jamie a video of one the other day, it was protesting about something it didn't like. All he could say was " I can see you now if we had them in our area. I'd never see you again. You be with them all of the time" hahaha 😄oh my gosh, he knows me too well. I love them. Thanks for the kind comment 💙💜
@@LesleytheBirdNerd yeah a new bird video 😊
There’s a Carolina Wren in my yard I named “Peanut” they bring a peanut from my feeders to my patio door. So cute, they look like they have winged eyeliner.
@@shellyrae777 Aw, Peanut! What a cute name for a Wren! ☺️🥜 Just this morning, I saw a Carolina Wren take a peanut and go under my Dad’s grill and then near the steps in the patio. So adorable! 🥰
@@BirdsandGhibliFan Aww that’s adorable. Thank you, the name really does fit. I always laugh when I see them eating peanuts, they’re so small, one peanut is probably like a bag for us! Lol
I absolutely love these friendly little birds! They have such a huge, commanding song coming from such an itty-bitty little bird. They do love filling up on the meal worms and grab their worms in between the Blue Birds, Nuthatch's, Tufted Titmice and Robin's grabbing them up too. The Bluebirds seem to think the mealworms are only there for them and try to run everything else off.
Do you use dried mealworms? I have no luck with them. How do you feed the mealworms?
What fun little birds. One time at night, my sister opened the front door to grab a package and one shot past her ear upstairs, and into my room. It was an ordeal trying to get the lad out, but I got a tiny, striped feather souvenir out of it!
My family still jokes about Carolina Wrens breaking into our house.
Hahahah oh my gosh, wow! That must have been something. I once had a Blue Jay in my home, in fact, it was Blue. I'll never forget it. I went on to bed the night before and I asked my husband to close the living room window before he went to bed. He forgot, and the next morning I heard some noise. Here was Blue inside trying to get back out but didn't know how to. He must have panicked. I had no idea how I was going to catch him. I just walked up slowly and gently put my hand out. At first, he tried to get away but then ended up in the palm of my outstretched hand. I slowly walked over to the window, he stayed perfectly still the entire time. I put my hand out the window and off he flew. All the other jays including his mate Sweet Girl were outside in the birch trees. What a story he must have told them. So sweet.
@@LesleytheBirdNerd
Oh my goodness, I LOVE your story of Blue getting inside and you helping him back out!
@@vickibowen5617 I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'll never forget the look on Blue's face that morning. Oh my
@@LesleytheBirdNerd That sounded absolutely magical! What an experience for the both of you!
@@LesleytheBirdNerd Maybe Blue figured you had visited his home so often, he ought to return the favor! Great stories, both!
I love these little personalities! Cute, smart sassy and curious
Everything about these birds is absolutely amazing and I will never get tired of watching them in my yard or footage of them on the internet!! They are so clever, cute, and have such adorable personalities. When I was a teenager our Carolina Wrens Jenny (who ate out of my hand!) and her husband Boogity would nest in various items we'd hang up for them. Jenny knew me so well she would let me take pictures of the babies every day. She was the best outdoor bird friend I've ever had and forever endeared Wrens to my heart.
I've found wren nests in boots, old coffee cans, wooden shelves, hanging pot plants, old hats, a golf cart dashboard and a big exhaust pipe.
Just noticed this morning a Carolina Wren building a nest under our canopy. It should be fun to watch its progress.
They call my home their home. I have a long joyful relationship with carolina wrens.
The birds make nests in the letters of the Walgreens sign.
They are adorable! I’ve had many Carolina wrens nest throughout my yard-atop spotlights under eaves, in empty flower pots, thru holes in open brickwork and in garden umbrella ribs. They are not at all afraid and are so much fun to befriend!
Last year Carolina wrens make their nest in my husband jet sky, he don’t use the jet sky for a long time 😆😆
I have a pair visiting my feeders!! Love them!!
NC here. We had a hanging flower pot on the front porch that they nested into. It hosted a hutch of chicks after they hatched. The fledged a few weeks later, but I swear that they return and keep singing their happy songs for us. I even got pictures of their hungry little mouths when they thought I was bringing them food.
What a super sweet bird! I love wrens!!! I saw a very cheeky tiny bird grabbing big walnuts from the squirrel nut bowl and dodging squirrels then gleefully flying off with his prize. He had this white streak near the eyes, tail up at 45 degrees, slender curved beak that was meant for insects not seeds, and wondered what bird that was. Not a finch with that beak. Looked like a chipping sparrow, but they are more docile and fat beak like all seed eaters. It turned out this was a Bewick's Wren! Bold as brass this tiny thing stealing nuts and ignoring the bird seeds. I love this guy. He hops around hoppity, hop, hop, hop, checks everything out, chirps his songs, and visits me daily. I have to put up nesting boxes. I must keep him around, my little Wren.
I adore their feisty selfs. They're so bold, scolding us for living in the same place they do 😂 I started buying meal worms as a peace offering lol. I have a hilarious picture of one scolding the security camera in mid air 🤣 They also let my son know who's boss when he works on the car, they sit a few feet away when he's laying under the car and give him heck. Very entertaining as they hop around looking for insects, and we have plenty of them here by the river.
We have a pair nesting under a Christmas tree stand out on the upstairs balcony. This pair has been together for several years. Beautiful to see!
These little birds love my porch soffit ......Last year my Wife and I watched all the little ones leave the nest.... It was quite the sight!
Nicely done! Thank you!
Thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks a bunch for the donation. Appreciate it :)
I love listening to these cute little birds
Tea kettle, tea kettle, tea kettle
Pikachu, pikachu, pikachu
Figaro, figaro, figaro
Cheeerrr, cheeerrrr, cheeerrr, cheeeerrr, cheeerrrr
So cute and grumpy looking!!
Ohh sooo cute
My favorite bird.
I live in central Oklahoma and have spotted these little birds at my feeders. Thank you for the videos, Bird Nerd☺️
Don’t leave the garage door open. True, very true…
Thanks So Much!!! for the Wren House design tips...I want to put up a couple this Spring for my Little Neighbors!!!
The House Wren is our other, Little Wren Character, "Tiny But Fierce"!!!
I lived in North East Florida. I built nesting boxes, under my roof overhang. All facing my windows. I could watch from the beginning of the nests construction to after the babies left the nests.
Wrens, always making a nest in my chickens nesting boxes. I do love them though
Thanks. There is a pair that lives by the creek very near me. I can hear them, but rarely get to see them. I saw one once this year at a make shift feeder eating, but so far not again. There was a Winter Wren that I would see at my parents place, always a joy.
Carolina Wrens are quickly becoming my favorites!
Carolina Wrens lived in a hanging potted flower right near my front door one year and in a box of rags in my garage... using a missing window in the door to come and go.
Such "Wrenderful" birds which let us know their presence every day with their many variations of their "tea kettle" song
Carolina Wrens are the best!
In south east Kentucky We love our little CWs, such entertaining characters and beautiful songs. Thanks for sharing.
They're prolific bug eaters. Fantastic for gardeners.
Such a lovely little bird.
Cute birds. I enjoy learning about the monogamous bird species. It is such a sweet thing.
Yes! I caught this just in time. I love when you talk about native southern (US) birds. My dad once had Carolina wrens nest in his lawnmower. Fortunately, the babies had long since fledged by the time he found out. 😆 These birds are quite bold once they get used to you. When I sit quiet after setting out peanut chips, they sometimes come right up close to me.
Cute little fluffs with mustaches
These birds frequent my suet feeder here in upstate New York…..the cutest little brown fuzz balls I’ve ever seen. Beautiful songs….
I love my wrens!!
My favorite bird!
Great vid as always.
Summer 2022, Austin, TX - super hot, almost no rain.
Wren nest on front porch. At one point, a baby was crying constantly. His 2 nest mates had died and had maggots. Just a nightmare.
We took him out, put in new nest material. We kept a water bowl there for them. The parents resumed feeding. And soon he fledged. I hope he has a great life.
2:28 🤣
My last home, I had some spare cinder blocks stacked in the back corner of the back yard, stacked with the holes exposed, a couple made a couple nests in some of the holes. I witnessed two clutches fledge, the second ones would come within feet to me. I miss them so much! 😭
Yes one ended up in my garage one night, and I knew I'd stress it out trying to shoo it out. I left the door cracked hoping by dawn it would leave, and it did... then I had a possum to deal with LOL
Living in the country is the best ! You never know which of the awesome critters and birds will steal your heart next. 😊
The Carolina wren is my favorite backyard bird. They're just so cute and spunky. Because they're so active they're really fun to watch. One year we had a little family that would walk along my fence all in a row to my suet feeder everyday. I just love them.
A family of Carolina Wrens lining up in a row on the fence. How cute! 🥰
So cute amazing 🙋♀️
A few years ago, my cat was sitting by the window looking out at the porch when Carolina Wren fledgling saw him and, being curious, perched on the rocking chair where it could look in. The young wren made little cheeping noises and was soon joined by a couple of its siblings, who were all very excited about the cat. Soon, mama wren came over, saw the cat, and started making a staccato alarm call. The youngsters repeated her alarm, then they all flew off.
My cat, Barko, snuck one into the house in his mouth. Unharmed, the poor bird proceeded to fly about the house trying to escape through the closed windows, pursued by Barko climbing up the drapes, pursued by my wife trying to save her curtains! It was a wild few minutes until we could calm everyone down. We always checked what Barko was carrying after that, but unbelievably, he managed to do it again. Sheesh!
Again an amazing video of a familiar yard bird here at my home in Florida. I can't ever get used to the big full bird calls from such a tiny bird! She (Wrennie) nests in my yard every year producing 2 - 4 clutches a year. Fred helps her too and they have nested in the ceiling fan on the patio now for 6 years!! Beginning of February a baby ended up in my house .. had to chase the sweet little bugger down. So adorable.... put it under the shed with the others.
Sherry, I LOVE the names you picked for your sweet wren couple. Too darn sweet. How lucky that you have them nesting in your ceiling fan every year. Wow, what adorable little birds. That is something else about one ending up in your home earlier this month. My gosh, I would absolutely love to have these birds, but I'm way out of their range.
@@LesleytheBirdNerd how far north are you? We have a resident pair in Portland Maine. And they have bred before. I wouldn’t rule it out.
@@LesleytheBirdNerd Aw, I wish I could send some Carolina Wrens your way. 😉🐦🤗
I had a pair nest in my compost bin. Obviously, I did not use it until the eggs hatched. I was fortunate to see the babies as they wandered into my adjacent porch before moving on.
Cute little bird. Wish we had them here. I think of wrens as a little bird with hugs personality. Thank you Birds Walking Down and Leslie!🤎
Beautiful video made out of great footage 👍🏼
Lovely video. Thank you so much! 💜
I do keep garage doors closed however they found my cranked open window as there open welcome windows and nestled into insulation and staying 10 ft from my work bench and had 4 young ones.I truly welcome them anytime.
What an experience 🥰
Wanted to say after going organic in my urban garden and 5 season with no bug killer I think I am seeing wrens in my yard and nesting in my yard more than before I always had wren boxes and gourges with tiny entrance but truly didn't have many move in. The last 3 years seems I'm having wrens yearly and some seems to must be raising several batches of young.
Truly do I feel great seeing wrens enter my row of tomatoes and seeing them flying in in many trips I believe they are carrying away insects that trying to damage my veggies and are these birds aways busy .
These are my favorite singers and very cute and clean them bugs from my garden.
My little buddies 💕
@@johnjude2685 I love this! Such a nice example of the kind of relationship we can have with birds. I think you can safely say that they are helping keep the insects away. Awesome! I wish I had them in my area. What a time I'd have with them.
Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always 🐦❤️🤗
Almost 200,000 subscribers! Much deserved. Congratulations 🎉
Yeah! Thanks, it's pretty crazy 🥰💙💜🐦🥂
I took a small, quart sized flower pot. Drilled holes top & bottom (mounted it so what would be bottom was level chanted so naught slides out). Hung it under eave 8ft off ground. There have been residents every year but last year.
Beautiful!
I absolutely love Carolina Wrens! They are so nosey and nimble. And yes, I accidentally trapped one in my garage last year, but thankfully I found him the next day and he was fine. :) And LOL at multiple choices of a house and a side entrance. Sounds like a human couple going house hunting. Once when I was growing up a pair nested in a concrete flower pot we had, dug down about a half inch into the soil, then built a dome over the top. Last year a pair nested in the rafters of my patio. When I'm digging around the yard I leave the insects laying around for the wrens and robins.
I love them
We had a little Carolina wren nest in blanket we left outside for way too long. It kept raining, so we just left it outside to dry, and then we'd forget about it again. But before we knew it a little nest formed in the innermost part of it. I never got to see the baby leave the nest but I did get a glimpse of him sitting outside the next one day.
Love these babies 😅😅😅
Add to the housing list dryer vent without a cover and old vacuum cleaner on front porch.
I've thrown peanut pieces to Carolina wrens from my window, and did so again just a few weeks ago, but they disappeared again. I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed how inquisitive they are. I had my window open and one flew inside my place and was scoping out my kitchen with the behavior of a bird looking for a nesting spot. I hang my feeders on a wire line and I once noticed one going down the line to inspect each and every feeder in a row (never seen that behavior before from other birds). It also inspected my tiny decorative birdhouse's tiny hole (keep in mind this entire tiny decorative bird house is about the same size of the mentioned Carolina wren visitor.
Fantastic video. Thanks.
Wrens bring me so much joy! I've had a pair nest in the same flower pot on my porch for a few years. I leave the pot on a shelf all year, and this winter the pair decided to roost in it at night also. At dusk, the male will call loudly, like "okay, time for us to settle in for the night".
Aw! I think I would gush over the cuteness of a Wren singing that he’s going to roost for the night. 🥰
@@BirdsandGhibliFan it is really cute!!
Thank you so much for this video. The Carolina wrens are my favorite little bird. ❤️
They’ve broken into my house several times. 😂
Wrens are pretty amazing. 3 years ago I forgot to put out the wren bird house, they went into my garden shed through an open window and found the bird house and used it. I got scolded when I opened the door.
Haha, oh my gosh what a character they are.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
these little cuties are just so too much...have lots of trees and white breasted and brown headed versions and they never disappoint...😍😍
Omg the Photoshop of the wren in the car
These birds are everywhere in the neighborhoods in North Carolina. They have a distinct posture. They sometimes scream very loudly. They used to always build nests in different places in my parent's shed. When I would go into the shed, often a few wrens would frantically fly out, screaming.
About a year ago, I had a busted screen in my window. Only about 4 days later, I noticed a little nest was starting to develop. Found out it was a little Carolina Wren nesting in there with its mate.😂 I just couldn’t kick them out so I just let them nest there all summer. They’re such cute and curious little birds!❤️
I had a pair build a nest in one of my rag boxes in my shop. I reached in for a rag one day and found a nest. I left them alone and I don't know how but they managed to fledge a brood in my shop! I was pretty touched. They didn't seem to mind me a bit and it was a working shop. They never came back there but it was pretty cool having that going on while I was building bicycles, motorcycles and cars and trucks.
Little feathered angels. 💕
I currently have four baby carolina wrens in my flower plant and I see their mother feed them everyday lol
My little Carolina Wren, "Homer" tried to nest in my shed but I discouraged him. Instead, I hung up a nest box, which a house wren soon claimed. Poor guy, he sings everyday to attract a mate, but no luck. Meanwhile, Homer moved on. Such is the life of our adorable wrens! Thank you for this informative video.
They are adorable! Here in Sydney Australia we have butcher birds which are a delight - I have one that sits on my kitchen windowsill when I go to the sink and it peers at me and hops along the length of the sill until I feed it a morsel. My husband reckons it's SOOO smart because it's got me well trained LOL. Loved this episode - will have to check out what I've missed. Thanks!!
Thanks for all your videos. I love learning about the tiny beast around my backyard.
❤
Those little buggers always try to build a nest around my patio. 😁
My wife likes to hang seasonal wreaths on our front door . Many times we have opened our door and one of these little birds has flown out of the wreath and into the house.
Official state bird of South Carolina
Love these videos, but the ones on wrens are definitely my favorite!
So cute 🥰
Thank you, very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yep in 24 hours one has woven together a nest in my tool shed.
This is one of my favorite sounds of spring. POOOOR SAM PEABODY PEABODY PEABODY
Love this!!
My favorite backyard bird. They nest in the top of my propane tank every year.
When I was little my mother stored her dust mop with soft side up in the corner of a largely-enclosed back porch. Of course, that was an invitation to a pair of wrens to build a nest. Mom was unhappy that she had to buy another mop but it was great waiting for the eggs to hatch and then the fledglings to leave.
Fascinating! Thank you so for the video and wonderful information ❤
Wrens seem to enjoy nesting lower than other birds. Every year I'm surprised to see some in my orchard right at or below eye level, where they just sit, looking rather miffed that you found them there.
We’re just outside of Memphis and have a pair that just finished their nest in my front door wreath❤️
One nested inside a bag of playground sand inside a shed at our house. The boards on that little shed had some openings big enough for them to enter and return, so no worries. Sweet little birds, with such a beautiful voice. They are my favorites.
I have a coat tree on my backporch and a spare bag of clothes pins i hang on it. A pair of carolina wrens built a nest in the cloth pin bag and have hatched a few babies . Mom and Dad are busy feeding them now
We just had some CW babies leave their nest. The mom and dad worked day and night to feed their babies and it's so sweet how dedicated they are to their young. They made a nest in a basket on my back porch where I kept my pins for my clothesline. Mom and Dad are still hanging around my house because one baby is having a hard time learning to fly. They don't leave that baby's side. It's so heartwarming to see how nuturing they are.
Three years ago, a bird made a nest right on our front step - we had an old wreath there that had gone up ages before for a Christmas long forgotten, and we just never took it down, having no place in the house to store it. But the bird decided it was an acceptable nest and raised a clutch of three or four babies, ignoring us coming and going the entire time. We never knew just what bird though - because we never saw much besides the adult bird's face kind of frowning out at us. Well, and little bitty wide-open mouths during their first few days, since their eyes weren't open. They'd hear us and beg us for food, heh.
BUT - seeing this, I feel like that may have been a Carolina Wren! We do have them, I've heard them, but I'm not yet familiar with how all the birds in my area look other than the biggest and most common ones. If they are the teeny tiny, size of my thumb birds - first off wow they have some pipes, the song is LOUD and very pretty.
But also, what wonder to think that one decided our front step was a good spot for raising a family. (I say one: we never saw a second adult bird, so maybe she lost her mate, but there's no way to be sure)
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Very chatty little birds, I see them fly into our garage and spend the night and day in there! (We have a mouse hole that is wide enough for them)
