We have a bird house full of baby house wrens, and they are the noisiest baby birds I have ever heard. As they have gotten bigger, their noise is nearly constant and is audible from all over the yard. I Googled “noisiest baby birds,” and house wrens were often listed. So it’s a thing.
I took a video so you could hear them: Our noisy baby house wrens
There was one baby who clogged up the exit hole. His is the voice most often heard.
Does he look a little grumpy to you?
Noisy and kinda cute.

They were pretty adorable. They all came out of the house soon after I took those photos. Still noisy.

Oh my heavens!! 🙂 What a ruckus – and yes, he does look rather grumpy! How wonderful though that you will get to enjoy the silence when they eventually leave xo

They were a lot of fun. They flew the coop soon after. I miss them.

Fantastic! Yours must be house wrens. Ours are Carolina wrens and are much quieter, more ‘peep peep’ in their vocals. All 5 fledged just Saturday. We’re always a little sad when they go as ‘the show’ keeps us engaged for a couple of weeks every summer.

Did you see them leave the nest? My husband and kids were out there & said it was quite a show. One flew right into my husband’s leg & then sat on the ground thinking about what trick to do next. The parents were yelling and fussing the whole time.

Great video clip. Wrens are noisy, an doften when I’m out they will make a massive noise, as if telling me off for disturbing them.

Thank you for the compliment; it was my first attempt at video. The parents had a particular “scolding sound” that was clearly an alarm whenever the dog or I got too close to the nest. Lots of personality in those little birds!
