In the same pine woods, too, there was much good music: house wrens, Carolina wrens, red-eyed and white-eyed vireos, pine warblers, yellow-throated warblers, blue yellowbacks, red-eyed chewinks, and, twice welcome, like the bluebirds, a Carolina chickadee.
"In the same way," added he, with a slight air of pedantry, "we say a flight of doves or swallows, a bevy of quails, a herd of deer, of wrens, or cranes, a skulk of foxes, or a building of rooks."
The juice of night flowers, served upon gold grass blades?" "Gold grass blades? That superb grass that, if you step upon it, puts you to sleep and imparts to you the knowledge of the language of birds " "And what do the Korrigans drink?" "The dew of heaven in the azure shell of wrens' eggs what boozers they are! But at the slightest sound of human feet off they vanish.
"The family of Mockers, Thrashers, and Wrens is one of the most interesting that we shall meet in our Birdland excursions, for all its members are bright intelligent birds and great talkers. They have something to say for themselves and say it so cleverly that we do not care if their feathers are of sober grays and browns.

If there is one family of feathered friends which perplexes Peter Rabbit more than another, it is the Warbler family.
It is true that certain birds carry such glittering trifles to their nests and it is well known that wrens forage in old buildings and often build in windmills. There were a few wisps of straw to give color to Pee-wee's ingenious theory. But when it comes to building, Pee-wee himself is a master builder of castles in the air. And there you are.
There is one place in the country where English sparrows have not yet come; and whenever they do appear there, they will meet a hostile reception. I shall kill every one that comes, for the sake of retaining the wrens, catbirds, phoebes and thrushes that now literally make home happy for my family.
