Ornithology: Breeding and Nests: The Eurasian wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) is a very small bird, and in Anglophone Europe, commonly known simply as the wren. The male wren builds several nests, up to 6 or 7. These are called "cock nests" but are never lined until the female chooses one to use. The normal round nest of grass, moss, lichens 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.
