WRENS: Wrens find almost any sort of
cavity good enough to suit their needs. Boxes of small
size with horizontal slots for entrance are best. The
slot opening permits this small bird to carry cumber-
some nesting material more readily. Any partially sunlit
spot agrees with wrens. A supply of small twigs about
three inches long will aid in nest building. It may be
best to place several houses in the immediate vicinity,
for the wren often builds several nests before completing one to its liking.
