A Wren and a Twig

 

 

I smiled as I watched this wren try to get a twig into the birdhouse today.

 

 

 

 

When it dropped, it flew to the ground and picked it up again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes it just made a lot of noise when the twig dropped…

 

 

…and then pick it up again.

 

 

I couldn’t believe how long it worked at getting one twig through the hole.

 

 

Does the term “birdbrain” come from situations like this?

 

 

 

 

Finally, quite by accident, it got the twig inside and was ready to try again. I watched for several minutes and it did the same thing with two more twigs.
