The wren is a sacred bird viewed by the Celts as the king of all birds. According to legend, the wren flew further than the eagle in a race to the sun. This gave the wren a special place in the traditional role of birds as messengers of the gods.
The wren is particularly associated with the god of thunder. Some species forage in dark crevices, and the name comes from "cave-dweller". Most species are non-migratory and build dome-shaped nests. Wrens often live in close association with humans.
