To you, a bird's call is one of life's sweetest sounds, and you long for the moments you can see their colorful feathers as they flit by. Birding plants will provide a safe haven for more winged creatures to perch, roost, and even lay down roots and start a nest.

TN Nursery's varied selection of plants for birds, especially when used in conjunction with our bird feeder kit, can bring in five times the birds!

Best Types of Plants for Birds

Birds gravitate more toward some plants for their traits than others. For instance, hummingbirds will seek plants rich with nectar, while other birds might prefer tall trees for their stability and shelter.

Shrubs are an excellent home for birds, especially the spice bush and beautyberry. As spice bushes mature, they develop red berries. Vireos and warblers can't stay away, and other migratory bird species may also become more prevalent.

The beautyberry also produces berries, this time in a royal purple variety. Mockingbirds, catbirds, and thrushes especially can’t get enough of the plump berries.

Birds also choose conifers, from the eastern red cedar to juniper trees and the eastern white pine. These dense, tall trees provide birds with a safe, warm environment to hunker down through the winter. Conifers like junipers are fruit-bearing, attracting robins and cedar waxwings.

Bushes are yet another excellent choice as a birding plant. Viburnums, serviceberries, and elderberries are the three top options for bringing in more birds. Songbirds feast on the serviceberry's bounty, and thrushes and cedar waxwings enjoy elderberry fruits.

Reasons to Grow Birding Plants

Adding a birding plant to your garden will fill your days with delight. Here's how.

  • More regular birdwatching: If you’re an avid birdwatcher, you’ll love the elevated numbers of species after growing birding plants. You’ll have reason to engage in your hobby more regularly.
  • Mental health benefits: Seeing birds flutter by and listening to their tranquil song can have positive effects on one’s well-being for hours after the fact.
  • Fewer insects: While insects are necessary to your local ecosystem, they’re also unpleasant. Birds can pick off the bugs you'd rather not get into the house.
