Troglodytidae

Wrens, family Troglodytidae, are small brown passerine birds comprising 96 species in 19 genera, found almost entirely in the Americas, from Alaska and Canada to southern Argentina, with the sole exception of the Eurasian wren, which is widespread across the Old World. They are typically inconspicuous in appearance but noted for loud, complex songs, and have short, barred wings and a characteristically cocked tail. Most species are primarily insectivorous, though many also eat seeds, berries and occasionally small vertebrates.
