Wrens
Order: Passeriformes Family: Troglodytidae /See Wren(Troglodytidae)
Wrens are small and inconspicuous birds, except for their (almost)loud songs, (? the size of the bird limits their loudness). They have short wings and a thin down-turned bill. Several species often hold their tails upright. All are insectivorous. (The Cactus Wren is a larger bird of the group.) There are 79 species world wide, and 9 North American species.
