Did you know that Carolina Wrens have really crazy nesting spots? They nest in buckets, in boxes, on a garage shelves and many more crazy spots. I want to tell you about how I had Carolina Wrens nesting on my garage shelf. Early in the morning when my dad was going to get something off the garage shelf,he spotted a bird nest on the garage shelf. He called my time name so I ran down the stairs. I told him that the nest was a Carolina Wren nest. The nest was about 5 in long (12.7 cm) and 3 in wide (7.62 cm). There were 3 eggs and a Male Wren and Female Wren. At breakfast I told my parents that its pretty common for Carolina Wrens to nest on garage shelves. At first they didn't believe me so I proved it by looking it up on my ipod. 2 weeks later the eggs started to hatch and I was full of joy. For the next couple weeks I checked on them writing down behavior and diet. Then when the Wrens started to fly and they were off to the real world.
