- This tab was the clue for Williamsburg archeologists to deteremine excavated jars were used for bird nesting by Williamsburg settlers.
Williamsburg Bottle Birds (House Wren) NG Published*
The bird jar is a reproduction of jars that were found during
excavations at the James Geddy House (circa. 1762), Williamsburg,
Virginia. At first archeologists did not know how early colonists used
the jars. The tab on the lower lip was what led them to believe they
were used to attract nesting birds. A small branch can be placed in
the hole to provide a pearch. This House Wren picked my jar to raise a
family as one did in 2006. I wonder what species of birds used them in
1762?

I've had one of these for two years and the wrens have ignored it completely. Guess I'll have to try again in another spot.
