The Wren's Eggs and Two Babies - Critter 84

Tuesday, November 12, 2024
At previous post, we talked about female Wren which visited our yard. The fact that the bird was nesting.

You may read the previous posting:

We saw at least two eggs in the nest, the number of eggs laying by Wrens depend on their species:
- Caroline Wren, 3 - 7 eggs
- House Wren, 4 to 8 eggs 

The female Wren broods her eggs for 12 to16 days, tenderly guarded, while the male provides nourishment.

Finally, after approximately two weeks, the little babies start learning to fly, then they leave the nest.
