   Wrens are small songbirds, & are native to North and South America, Asia, and Europe. The wren is one of the most beloved songbirds of all time, and it is truly a pleasure to hear them singing in the morning

   Mark Johns, who works with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission to coordinate the N.C. Partners in Flight Program bird conservation program, says there are some things to be aware of. "Don’t use treated wood if at all possible…Try to use a wood that does not decay easily, like cedar or cypress. It will last longer." advises: "Avoid painting boxes or treating wood with a preservative. This may cause the boxes to absorb too much heat (if you use a dark color) or give off toxic vapors."
