House Wren

The House Wren, (Troglodytes aedon), is a very small songbird of the wren family, Troglodytidae. It occurs from Canada to southernmost South America, and is thus the most widely distributed bird in the Americas. It occurs in most suburban areas in its range and it is the single most common wren. Its taxonomy is highly complex and some subspecies groups are often considered separate species.

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or wren:

    You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
    For they have their own thoughts.
    You may house their bodies but not their souls,
    For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
    Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931)

    Adultery? Thou shalt not die. Die for adultery!
    No, the wren goes to’t, and the small gilded fly
    Does lecher in my sight. Let copulation thrive.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
