Do you have like a side door or just the garage door? If its just the garage door just make it open large enough for them to get in and out. Momma bird will show them how to get in and out.
Back door is next to the nest. That's what she uses.

And like Mousebaby said: Momma will lead the way!!

Once fledged, they will be very safe from the cats.

Wrens love to nest near people....and I am sure many here have delightful stories to tell of the odd places they have found nests.

I have found them in my cloths pin bag, ball cap, just for starters!!
Thanks. I might even cover the windows so they don't head for them. Nice place she picked as long as I don't need my portable work lights.
