Blue Jays and Red Birds

[Snattlerake]

Anyone know what the small brown birds are that swarm our feeders. They look like sparrows but much smaller.

Wrens

I hate to stir up another huge controversy on OSA, but in "The Twelve Days of Christmas", is it five golden RINGS, or five golden WRENS? Please solve this 50 year old argument between me and my cousin (who is obviously wrong!!)

I always thought it was rings.

 

[steelfingers]

Ask a woman and it's 5 golden rings. Ask a guy and it's a 5 degree PING (driver)

 

[Aries]

It sounds like rings, but gifts 1-7 are all birds, unless 5 is the exception.

The oh no birds are sure glad there was soft snow on the ground..

I assume we're talking about Blue Jays and Cardinals? Nobody has posted any pics of their red birds. Or is there another 'red bird'?
