Adaptation

The House Wren
  • Tend to be 4 and 3/4 inches in length.
  • Adults description: greyish brown with buff eye lines, wings and tails have a reddish tint with a fine black barring. 
  • There diet consists of caterpillars, snails, and spiders.
House Wrens nest in abandoned woodpecker holes, bird boxes, and other cavities around dwellings. When it comes to building a nest males use tools such as twigs, vines, and other small materials. Females use things like spider webs, moss, hair, and trash to line the inside. House Wrens are a protected species, and cannot be killed. This wren is a female located on my porch. I caught this wren in her nest at 9 pm at night.
