I’ve figured out that birds around here that say “tweetertweetertweeter” or “cheatercheatercheaterchee” are Carolina wrens. I also heard another sound that’s been identified as a Carolina wren. What else do they say?

I’m going to restrain myself from suggesting all the things I’d like to imagine they might be saying.

They make a really interesting, mechanical buzzing that I always relish to hear.
The bird guides tend to describe it as teakettle-teakettle-teakettle – and there is an iNat user somewhere whose username is “teakettle wren.” But to me, they always sound like they are saying jubilee-jubilee-jubilee, which is why I nicknamed them “jubilee birds.”
I’ve always thought they sounded like “Germany”.
