    I would love to have wrens in my yard! We had them in the yard as kids and I thought they were so cute with that little up-turned tail :-o As much as I'd love to see them again I know that can't happen with all the cats :-?

    We have wrens in our garden but I've never seen them utilise anything I have to nest in. I hope yours raises a family and that they all survive.

    I hope they nest in the house as well. In previous years the wrens seem to build a nest in the house, then flit to another house etc. I've never seen babies, so hopefully this will be the year.

    My mom used to have wrens nest in a huge hanging basket of airplane plant. Not more than 10 ft. from the back door. Loud little birds.

    Wrens are the cutest birds. :D We've got them around here but I don't think they're nesting nearby. Good luck with your wren family.

    Good luck with your wren family. How high up in that tree did you place the birdhouse?

    It really isn't high at all, just above my head. I didn't intend to leave it there but wanted a higher and a bit more secluded position. But I got busy doing other things, and then the wren discovered it and started using it. Hopefully it isn't too low. It is also fairly close to a path so we'll see if she continues to use it.
