A bird Utopia

If you’ve fed birds before, you know that squirrels aren’t far behind. Morrison’s stocks a multitude of squirrel-resistant feeders and baffles, plus spicy birdseed that squirrels would rather not eat (but birds love just the same). If the squirrels are welcome at your backyard feeders, consider adding something just for them. We carry whole corn cobs, in-shell peanuts, and other snacks that squirrels and chipmunks love.

Inviting birds to your backyard goes beyond providing food; it’s also essential to offer them shelter and water. We have many styles of birdhouses (even bat houses) and weather shields to protect birds and help them feel safe. Our glazed ceramic and concrete birdbaths are attractive, timeless pieces that go beyond function—they can also add structure to a garden bed. Remember that birds still need access to water during the winter. We carry birdbath heaters to make it easy to provide year-round water for birds.

If you’re a gardener, entice birds to your yard by considering their needs. Birds need cover to feel safe; dense evergreen trees & shrubs provide shelter and places to nest. Use native plants like winterberry and dogwood to provide birds with readily available fruit and berries. Perennials such as coneflower and black-eyed Susan produce seed heads favored by birds. Feed hummingbirds without the mess and maintenance of a feeder by planting flowers that they love.

Whether you’re a beginner bird feeder or you’ve been at this a long time, we have supplies and advice to make your yard a birding paradise.
