It occurs from Canada to southernmost South America. The taxa from southern Mexico southwards are sometimes considered a separate species, the Southern House Wren, Troglodytes musculus, as is the taxon from Cozumel Island, the Cozumel Wren, Troglodytes beani. It has also been suggested that some taxa from the Lesser Antilles may represent separate species. Birds on the Falkland Islands are now typically considered to be an endemic species, Cobb's Wren, Troglodytes cobbi. North American birds migrate to the southern United States and Mexico. South America South America is a continent crossed by the equator, with most of its area in the Southern Hemisphere. ...

This bird usually builds a large cup nest in various sorts of cavities, either natural or man-made, often using bird houses where they are available, and sometimes choosing unusual sites such as old shoes. The female incubates the clutch of three to six red-blotched cream-white eggs for 14-15 days, and the naked young take another 16-19 days to fledge.
House Wrens are known to occasionally destroy the eggs of other birds nesting in their territory by breaking the eggshell. They are also known to fill up nearby nests within their territory with sticks to make them unusable by other birds. In most birds and reptiles, an egg (Latin ovum) is the zygote, resulting from fertilization of the ovum. ...
Adults are 11.5 cm long and weigh 12 g. They have brown or grey-brown upperparts with pale grey-brown underparts; there are black bars on the flanks, wings and tail. They have an eye ring, a faint line over the eye, a short thin bill and pink legs.
There are regional variations in the appearance of this bird. For example, the subspecies found on Tobago, T. a. tobagensis, is larger and has much paler underparts than the mainland forms.

This bird's rich bubbly song is commonly heard during the nesting season but rarely afterwards (song (helpยท

The House Wren may have been displaced somewhat in some northern parts of its range by the introduction of the House Sparrow, but is still common and widespread throughout most of the Americas. A few taxa, especially from the Lesser Antilles, are rare and highly endangered. In North America, the House Wren is thought to achieve the highest density in floodplain forests in the western great plains where it uses woodpecker holes as nesting sites. In South and Central American it can be found in virtually any habitat and is, as indicated by its common name, often associated with humans. Binomial name (Linnaeus, 1758) The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a member of the Old World sparrow family Passeridae, and is, somewhat controversially, considered a relative of the Weaver Finch Family. ...
