A nesting pair of Carolina Wrens became very friendly and began eating mealworms out of my hand, daily. For years I had put mealworms in the feeder shown in the video, and after a while the wrens began to wait on nearby branches, waiting for me.

Often times, they would enter the feeder when I was only a few steps away. One day, this spring (2008), when they were nearby, I simply put the mealworms in my outstretched hand, held real still, and within a few minutes they hopped on.

It wasn't long before I could hold my hand close to my face, and they would still not only visit, but stay for a minute or so. this went on for two months, then they suddenly disappeared.

I fear that they were victims of a predator, and I miss them.

This poor little Carolina Wren is foraging for sunflower seeds that have been already shelled since he is not built for shelling bird seed. It's still snowing!

It's a good idea to provide as many choices for the birds as possible. This Carolina Wren is eating suet put out for woodpeckers and nuthatches.
Young Carolina Wrens move northward and establish themselves as long as winters are mild. If winters are harsh and food isn't available they will die before heading southward.
So be sure to add suet and hulled sunflower seed to your bird feeding stations if you see them around in the winter.
