Editing Wren (section)

==Description==
Wrens are medium-small to very small birds. The Eurasian wren is among the smallest birds in its range, while the smaller species from the [[Americas]] are among the smallest [[passerines]] in that part of the world. They range in size from the [[white-bellied wren]], which averages under {{convert|10|cm|in|abbr=on}} and {{convert|9|g|oz|abbr=on}}, to the [[giant wren]], which averages about {{convert|22|cm|in|abbr=on}} and weighs almost {{convert|50|g|oz|abbr=on}}. The dominating colors of their [[plumage]] are generally drab, composed of gray, brown, black, and white, and most species show some barring, especially on the tail or wings. No [[sexual dimorphism]] is seen in the plumage of wrens, and little difference exists between young birds and adults.<ref name="HBW">{{Citation|first1=Donald|last1=Kroodsma|first2=David|last2=Brewer|editor-first=Josep|editor-last=del Hoyo|editor2-first=Andrew|editor2-last=Elliott|editor3-first=David|editor3-last=Christie|contribution=Family Troglodytidae (Wrens)|title=Handbook of the Birds of the World.

Wrens have loud and often complex songs, sometimes given in [[Duetting|duet]] by a pair. The songs of members of the genera ''[[Cyphorhinus]]'' and ''[[Microcerculus]]'' have been considered especially pleasant to the human ear, leading to common names such as [[song wren]], [[musician wren]], [[flutist wren]], and [[southern nightingale-wren]].<ref name="HBW"/>
