Wren Babies In Vase....

What Was This Mommy Wren Thinking

What Was This Mommy Wren Thinking


Inside Vase


On my deck there is a huge tubular Vase, on top is a planter with dried flowers..my pup went bonkers yesterday, sniffing and barking at the planter...I searched the planter, nothing
there.

BUT,when I lifted the planter, deep deep inside the vase was a wren nest and 6 babies chirping away. I was in awe. Never would I have known this nest was there if my pup hadn't discovered it.

What was this mommy and daddy bird thinking? They are well protected and even let me stand nearby as they deliver breakfast, lunch and dinner to their young.

The only concern I have is how on earth are these
babies going to fly out of the deep vase...
Nature is glorious and some animals take care of their young better than humans...that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Getting out
by: Anonymous

Wrens can cling to virtually anything so my guess is that the babies are going to climb up the vase somehow or hop out the nest and stick and flap and stick and flap...etc. That's what they did when they nested in a flower pot similar to your vase. I have seen them also climb up the bare bricks of my house. These birds are truly amazing.
