Caroline Wren was Using the Flower Petal to Scoop Poop - Critter 99

Tuesday, July 1, 2025
We saw wrens, either House Wren or Caroline Wren come and nesting at our yards almost every year.

Some posting about Wrens are following:

We had a nest next to our front window, and one day we observed interesting of baby birds' behaviors:
- turn their backside to the nest opening.
- then pooped there (smart bird!).

Mama bird doing the parent work that is "changing diapers." She is removing poop or the fecal sac to keep the nest clean.

As we understand the bird was using the flower petal to scoop poop. Amazing.

Have you ever observed this kind of behavior?
