Unusual Bird: Wren without a tail
This is a photo of a wren visiting my suet feeder. Not sure what happened to his tail, but it doesn’t seem to affect his ability to get around, or his balance.

I have a Carolina wren hanging around who has little or no tail as well. We’ve named him, “Bob.” He seems healthy otherwise; maybe a hawk missed him by a, er – tail.
Williamsburg, VA
I noticed my spunky little wren that hangs around is also minus his/her tail , doesn’t seem to bother him. But I miss his tail sticking straight up?
Yes, we just spotted a wren without a tail. He flies just fine but looks funny.
I have a wren with a little tail too! He loves my window feeder with mealworms. The missing tail doesn’t see to inhibit him in any way. I too wonder what happened to his tail. They are so sweet, and so loud!
Think i’ll name him Stumpy. 🙂
I have had a wren here for 2 years, missing tail feathers, flies and seems fine.. we called it Butt Bird probably not a great name lol….
