The Living Forest (542) : Wren

The wren is a very small bird that weighs only between 6 and 10 grams.
This species nests mostly in coniferous forests.

In European folklore, the wren is the king of the birds.
According to a fable, when the eagle and the wren strove to fly the highest, the wren rested on the eagle's back and when the eagle got tired, the wren flew out above him.
Thus, the wren proved that cleverness is better than strength..... :-))

Dutch name : Winterkoninkje (ook Winterkoning genaamd)
German name : Zaunkönig
Latin name : Troglodytes troglodytes
