About the Inca Wren

The Inca wren (Pheugopedius eisenmanni) is a species of bird in the family Troglodytidae. It is endemic to Peru. The Inca wren is monotypic. Curiously, this species was not detected by professionals until the 1960s and not described until 1985, though it is regularly encountered at Machu Picchu.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 32 recordings for this species: 18 CC BY-NC-SA · 14 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.

As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
