    The Cactus Wren has a dull rusty colored crown, streaked back, heavily spotted breast, with tawny colored sides and belly; wing and tail feathers are barred black and white. The Cactus Wren primarily eats insects, including ants, beetles, grasshoppers, and wasps. Occasionally, it will eat seeds and fruits. The Cactus Wren has been the state bird of Arizona since 1931.
