About These Birds

Plumagem castanho-escura com cabeça negra e marcas brancas nas asas. Vocaliza com grande variedade de sons. Onívoro oportunista extremamente adaptável.
Eurasian Wren
The Eurasian wren is one of the smallest birds in Europe but possesses an astonishingly loud song for its size. Males build multiple dome-shaped nests, from which the female selects one to line and use. In British folklore, the wren is known as the king of birds for outwitting the eagle in a flying contest.
