wrens are loud! (1 Viewer)

for such a small often shy little bird i was surprised at dawn when filling the bird table by a wren just above my head singing. i am deaf to many high notes but could actually hear it and could feel the pressure of its song in my ears enough to make me look up and see it above me going at it full song! tiny bird, loud voice.

Its always a pleasure to see and hear a wren in the garden luckily we always have a pair around in the garden.

Pound for pound probably the highest volume to weight ration of any british song bird. Cettis warbler would run it good second though.

It was the Carolina Wren that got me into birds, nearly 40 years ago. Listening to it sing I was determined to find out what it was, and ordered bird call tapes. The song I had heard wasn't on the tapes (because the Wren has so many songs). I figured it out later when I actually witnessed a Wren singing that exact song and looked him up in the bird guide. The whole process got me hooked.
