This bird has been sitting on my bluebird house since the baby's fledged. What is it?

The picture is really small and hard to see, but I think it's a wren. You can Google 'wren' image and see if it is. I am not an expert, will wait and see what others think.

The picture is awfully tiny, but I agree with Sara. I believe it is a House Wren.

Hey everyone I was just wondering if you could spare a minute to fill out a quick survey on bird watching. IÃ¢ÂÂm currently studying IT at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia and at the moment weÃ¢ÂÂre looking at bird watching as a part of design in context. Would really appreciate all the help I could get, thanks. Here is a link that might be useful: Survey

No problem Brian, and thank you! Thanks Catherine! Sometimes they would get into our shop bays and try to build their nests in the roof supports. Even if we diligently remembered to kee the doors closed and they couldn't get inside for days, the moment we forgot they would be back.

I agree that the shape of the bird screams Wren, but a much larger pic would be helpful. Hopefully, it isn't a House Wren.

You will know if you look in the box and there are sticks in it. You don't want them around. I would close the hole if it is a House Wren.
