House wrens nest in natural tree cavities, and readily accept artificial houses.
House wren has benefited from de-watering of the Platte River system and the subsequent encroachment of wooded vegetation within the river channel. The large nesting densities found in shelterbelts and residential habitats are indicative of the positive impact that establishment of forest habitats has had on this species.
