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. 


Image - Caroline Wren to Scoop Poop.

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?

  10. Wrens are a favorite of mine. They sure have a loud voice for such a little bird. Nice capture!

  12. I got a "Bird Buddy" a few months ago. I love it. Especially when cardinals visit (I've named one "His Eminence").
