I have baby wrens!
22 Answers
I am so excited! I have a wrens nest in my shed and this morning I spotted 4 (maybe 5) little mouths!
I have read that wrens eat spiders and insects but is there anything that I can leave out to help the mum and dad wren in feeding the little ones?

Just a quick update to let anyone who was interested in this thread know that my little wren family fledged today. They were so tiny and adorable out of the nest. It suddenly seems so quiet without them squeaking for more grub!
The little parents worked really hard over the last few days. At one stage I sat and watched how often they were bringing food to the nest and I timed them returning every 60-150 seconds. That is a lot of work for ones so small!
One last question - are they likely to use the nest again?
