Your little feathers all aflutter
You bring your wife you chirp and mutter
You love the wreath that’s on my door
To set up house there you’d adore
While that won’t do as clearly seen
By the mess you make with mossy greens
I’ve hung a house for you nearby
A red one just for you to try
I’m waiting now to see if you
Are smart enough to move into
Through curtained windows watch you both
Contemplating this new birdy house
But so far you are nowhere near
To setting up a family where
We’ll both be happy with the spot
Where you will raise your little tots

The scene and the wrens looking for house-room is outlined delightfully in this charming rhyme - - birds as I know can be oh so fussy when choosing right spots for nest my friend - a lovely read Lorna.
Hi Fay! I let them set up house in the wreath one year and it was adorable to see their little heads peeking out - UNTIL - they got very big for the nest and Momma bird cleaned the nest out each day all over the front door..... it was a difficult decision to miss out on the little faces
A fine write Lorna.
Ta Orchi.........
A beautiful picture painted with wonderful flow. Thank you
Thank you!
One of the most delightful birds - let's hope the sort out the removals soon.
Feisty little devils!

You make me smile - thanks ww!
Lorna,
If I were a musician, I would write a “litttle brown wrens” song just for you!😉
I enjoyed the read! A delightful poem and pic! It must be amazing watching them!
~Laura~
Actually L - they are watching me!

Glorious write, we have the occasional wren in our garden but no nests. We do have a blackbirds nest in our laurel bush though and it is stopping me cutting it.
I love that you're not a home wrecker!
