Overview

Cobb's wren (Troglodytes cobbi) is a fairly small (12-13.5 cm) wren which is endemic to the Falkland Islands. It was formerly classified as a subspecies of the southern house wren but is now commonly considered to be a separate species due to differences in plumage, voice, ecology and morphology.
The scientific and common names commemorate Arthur Cobb, an author from the Falkland Islands.
