Having empowered employees is the dream of every leader. All managers want people who show initiative by taking on and completing tasks with little guidance. Of course, the expectation is that these people will perform only in ways consistent with company objectives and values. And there lies the leadership challenge.
Insects and spiders make up the bulk of this wrenâs diet. Common foods include caterpillars, moths, stick bugs, leafhoppers, beetles, grasshoppers, crickets, and cockroaches. Carolina Wrens occasionally eat lizards, frogs, or snakes. They also consume a small amount of plant matter, such as fruit pulp and seeds from bayberry, sweetgum, or poison ivy.
Low-growing perennials attract bugs for the ground-feeding wrens to eat. Two options are chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) and lady's mantle (Alchemilla mollis), which are hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9 and 3 through 8, respectively. Lady's mantle self-seeds so heavily that it is somewhat invasive, however.
