A word of caution. When the young fledge they often end up in a low shrub for a day or two. This makes them easy prey for the cats.
Studies show that indoor cats live longer and healthier lives than cats allowed to roam free.
Window bird housees by: Anonymous
I have one of the houses you mount to the window so you can see the birds inside.
It was there all summer but no birds came.
The year before, the wrens built the nest behind the Cactus plants I had in this window so I put the house on the outside window just above where they had built their nest, hoping they would go in the house.
I put a leaf inside the opening to help entice them but that didn't get results either.
Does anyone have any episodes on how they get the birds to " find" and use this see thru bird house? Thanks for the help.
Little but loud by: Diane
I enjoyed your story & know what you are talking about, as we have wrens at our home, also.
They are quite protective but have never had them grab at us.
We do not have any cats on our property & like it that way.
I hope you continue to enjoy your "little but loud" wrens for many years to come.

Thank you for sharing your story - makes me smile. Wrens are just the little entertainers aren't they - what characters. Enjoy your friends.
