More brightly colored than most wrens, and offering a rich musical song, Carolina Wrens are common in open woods and backyards from Missouri to the east including all of the southeast into Texas. These birds are cute and smart looking as they explore an area with quick movements. Wrens are tiny, energetic predators that help limit populations of insects and spiders. Especially in winter, these birds will also eat berries and small fruits and some seeds. They will also visit bird feeders for suet, peanuts, and other items.
