The House Wren is cinnamon brown above, buff or gray below, and has fine bars on the wings and tail. They are quick to accept bird houses for a home and a house with a small entrance will protect the House Wren and its family from the dangers most nesting birds encounter.

The Wren’s exuberant personality endears him to humans, but he is sometimes not the best neighbor to other songbirds. Only the male is the singer, and most of his singing occurs during courting times.

With their friendly nature, they will live near human habitation. They prefer suburban yards or open areas with trees and shrubs nearby. The House Wren migrates to southern states for the winter.
