Roosters

No, I'm not reporting on barnyard fowl, but something more entertaining. In the last few days, a pair of Carolina Wrens have taken to using an old coconut husk feeder (purchased in Jamaica!) as a roost. I have a few tools secured within, but this doesn't bother the birds. Nor are they too troubled by close proximity to the house. I have startled them in the early hours of the morning when checking feeders, but even with that they are back for more the next night. What a wonderful development! For years I have failed to excite Wrens about nesting too close to the house, and here they are crashing for the night. What will happen next?
