The family of Wrens is found across America, Europe, and much of Asia. The small birds (10 cm to 22 cm) have short wings and strong legs and feet. The plumage is colored in different shades of brown with bands and spots. Most species fly little, but some can run quickly. They mainly eat insects, spiders and other invertebrates. They sing very lively and fiercely defend their territory.
