Thinking more about it. I have had the wind chime out for two years now, and
carolina wrens are regulars in our yard year round. Plus I've seen wrens in
the shrub beside the chime countless times, but I have never observed any of
them show even a hint of agression toward it. Makes me wonder how many times
it may have occurred before now. Curious.
