    The wren builds its nest on ivy or in a ditch it is said that the wren is the king of birds and that the Eagle got angry and struck him with his wing and he can never since fly higher than a bush, He builds his nest round with a hole in the side to go in and out it is said that he can never build a nest without a drop being down in the nest because he was cursed by the other birds
