  1. I played a carolina wren song, and sure enough, one showed up looking for the owner of the voice. The wren came so very close to me, I was quite surprised. They normally eat bugs, but I was surprised to see them going for the sunflower seed chips and nyjer seeds. I put mealy worms for them as well. The carolina wren is such a tiny bird, with such a big voice!
    The cardinals also get in such an uproar if I play a territorial call – they look and call to find the intruder. After a while, they get that it's not a real bird, and they lose interest. It's the repeat of the same song that tips them off.

    I also have a bird that calls or sings "chippity chippity chippity CHEW!" I think it's the carolina wren – who also makes an insect like buzzing much like a junco. Since the pandemic, I have a great deal of time to spend with my backyard birds and now, no matter where I am, I am very conscientious of any bird call, song, or flight.
    I am so very fascinated with birds, and corvids in particular. Blue Jays are not as bad a nest robber as you think. The old world house sparrows are the worst culprits along with squirrels. Studies show a very low percentage of incidents with Blue Jays robbing eggs or baby birds and eating them. Bugs during the spring (for their nestlings), seeds, acorns and nuts for the rest of the year are the preferred meals for Blue Jays.
