Two adult wrens are depicted with brown feathers on their topside and cream feathers on their underside. The feathers are accented with black markings. The wren on the left feeds an insect to three young wrens that are covered in white feathers with black markings. The young wrens pop their heads out of an opening on a black hat, which is being used as a nest.
