- The Eurasian wren sometimes hunts tadpoles and small fish, wandering through shallow waters like marsh birds. It does this by moving through shallow waters like marsh birds.
- The Eurasian wren is one of the smallest European birds, measuring only 9–10.5 cm, almost half the size of a house sparrow. Its weight is about 8–12 g.
- The Eurasian wren can move under snow, like mice. According to some sources, it avoids open spaces and seeks shelter on the ground when in danger.
- The Eurasian wren likely migrated from America to Asia via the Beringian land bridge. All other members of the wren family live exclusively in the New World, and there are more than 60 of them.
- At night, Eurasian wrens gather in large groups, with up to 10 birds usually found in one place. In North America, 31 birds were found in one shelter, and in Europe—96.
- The Eurasian wren flew higher than the eagle in a bird competition. It rose above the eagle and climbed several inches higher when the eagle was at its peak.
- In North America, two populations of Eurasian wrens differ in song, and even greater differences are observed between the western and eastern populations, territorially separated from each other. In North America, two populations of Eurasian wrens differ in song, but even greater differences are observed within North America.
- The eurasian wren is the only member of its family found in America, Eurasia, and North Africa. Twenty-eight subspecies of this species have been identified.
- The scientific name of the eurasian wren, Troglodytes troglodytes, comes from an ancient Greek word meaning "dwelling in a cave." This name was given because of its unique nesting behavior—in a thick-walled spherical structure resembling a cave.
- The owl started living alone because she did not give her feathers to the eurasian wren. As punishment for this, other birds began to avoid her.
- Female eurasian wrens choose males with a larger number of nests. The reason why birds build so many unused nests is unknown, but experiments showed that females prefer males with more structures.
- The eurasian wren reaches sexual maturity in its first year of life. Sexual maturity occurs already in the following year after hatching.

Eurasian wrens typically live from 2 years to 5 years, although the maximum lifespan recorded is 7 years, with a theoretical lifespan ranging from 5 years to 7 months and 2 weeks. The species reaches sexual maturity between 10 months and 1 year and 1 month of age. Development begins with an embryo that develops inside an egg, followed by the nestling stage where the young are fed by their parents for a duration of 2 to 2 weeks and 5 days. After this period, the species enters the adult stage, becoming capable of reproduction and living independently.
