The House wrens arrived for the season last week. It’s always exciting to hear the first wren song of the season.
But they can be little bullies. This one drove a chickadee out of one of the birdhouses in our backyard on the first day he arrived.
This particular bird is also a bit of a weirdo. He eats peanuts! At first I thought he was just looking for ants or other insects in the peanut cup, but he started to visit the cup regularly and eventually I saw him pecking away at some peanuts. Wrens are insect eaters.
It’s interesting to note that as I was writing this, a goldfinch landed on our suet feeder and took a few bites. Goldfinches are solely seed-eaters!
I guess this time of year you take your protein where you can get it!
