If you were to ask what made Wren happy, they could come up with a number of replies that were viewed as casual. "Seeing my friends", or maybe even just a "Going out for some food". But what do they really, really love?
Well, her two pet birds of course!
She's had them since she was little.
When she was a kit, they went on a walk with their mother, only to hear loud chirping from a box.
"Mama, mama!" they pulled at their mother's fur gently, pointing towards the small box. "What's that? Could I see? Please?" She whines, impatiently waiting for a reply. Their mother always knew they were a curious one. "Of course, dear, go ahead. Do be careful, my dove!" They skittered over to the box, lightly patting it and flinching when she hears a small chirp of distress.
Wren opens the box, to see two little birds curled up together. They lightly tip the box over to let the birds out, and the little cockatiels fumbled over to them and rested on their shoulders. "Aww, mama, they're so cute! One looks hurt, we shouldn't just leave them here," Wren begs.
And so they took the birds home. Took them to a vet, even nurtured them back to health. And soon enough, Wren had two little pets of her own.
Now that she was older, her birds were too, and she was never alone with those two around! They've always, always loved birds, and having two of her own fed into her love for them. She has a permit to carry them everywhere, and you'll find her giggling and talking to them softly at times. They can't even bring those two birds up without becoming a happy mess of words.
