I am known as a Carolina Wren

I'm small, but sing LOUD to prove my mettle

My songs aren't particularly creative though, 

All I sing about is my love of tea kettles!

I am a male Carolina Wren, 

I am small and can be hard to see

Allegedly I sing a tea-kettle-tea-kettle song

But I sing a lot and my song varies frequently.
