The wrens prefer this simple house made from a discarded coffee pot to purchased more elegant
homes.
We got this aluminum percolator for
almost nothing at a flea market. Expand the
hole in the top just a little bit. Put a hole in
the bottom of the coffee pot and attach with
a screw from the inside of the pot. Find a
a sheltered protected place a bit off the
ground. Ours is attached to a board under
our deck.
The birds will quickly build
a nest. The wrens raised several families
in it last summer. You might want to
cover the mower or whatever is
underneath since the birds may be a bit messy.
