Editing Winter wren (section)

==Behavior and ecology==
===Breeding===
The male builds a small number of nests. These are called "cock nests" but are never lined until the female chooses one to use. The normal round nest of [[grass]], [[moss]], [[lichen]]s or leaves is tucked into a hole in a wall, tree trunk, crack in a rock or corner of a building, but it is often built in bushes, overhanging boughs or the litter which accumulates in branches washed by floods. Five to eight white or slightly speckled [[Bird egg|eggs]] are laid in April, and second broods are reared.

===Food and feeding===
For the most part [[insect]]s and [[spider]]s are its food, but in winter large pupae and some seeds are taken.
