The story my mum told me is that God told the #birds to choose a king for themselves. The birds figured that since flying is their whole thing, their king should be whoever could fly the highest (so screw #ostriches I guess).

The #wren hung on to the #eagle, who flew higher than any other #bird... but then the wren nipped out and flew just that bit higher than the eagle. Since the wren technically flew the highest, he has been king of the birds ever since.
