In European folklore it is said that the birds held a contest to see who could fly the highest. Whom ever won would be considered "The King of the Birds". The Eagle being a very cocky bird thought since he was obviously the most powerful flyer he would win for sure. But the wren being so cunning hid under the eagle's wing. When the eagle beat out the other birds and from exhaustion could go no higher the wren flew out and high up above the eagle making him "The King of the Birds". So because of that story I titled this little wren painting "Royal Wren". The original painting is for sale on my etsy shop. http://www.etsy.com/shop/ThimbleSparrow?ref=si_shop
