ATTENTION

Our eyes and ears should be open and alert to the natural wonders that surround us every day. Take time to look out our windows to see the birds that visit us and open our windows to hear them. Walk around whatever space we have to enjoy the birds in nature. Every day, work on improving our powers of observation.

ACCEPTANCE

Nature happens. We cannot MAKE natural things happen (or NOT happen). We can create habitats to encourage natural things to happen around us, but there are no guarantees.

RESPONSIBILITY

Birdfeeding comes with responsibilities to the birds and the environment we share with them. If you are unwilling to accept these responsibilities, you shouldn’t feed the birds. We also have a responsibility to share these natural wonders with the next generation.

Carolina Wren

40 the number of different songs a single male Carolina Wren can sing

400 the number of small twigs that might make up a House Wren nest

36 notes per second a Winter Wren can sing.

10 times louder is the Winter Wren's call than that of a crowing rooster (in proportion to its size and weight)

1821 the year that the Bewick's Wren was first identified by John James Audubon.

3,000 times a Carolina Wren might sing its song in a single day.

Barbara, sometimes it is fun to boil the Fun Facts down to just numerical ones so number-loving people like you and me can enjoy! Glad you like!

What fun to have this by the numbers... a friend where I take pottery classes has a pair of wrens that nest two or three times each year in her nest boxes, but this year they nested in the tree until the first nestlings fledged then they moved into the box for the second set... amazing birds.
