Welcome Spring with Beautiful Things for the Birds

Mar 11th 2024

Do you eagerly await the first robin of spring? Many birds winter somewhere else and return to their warm-weather homes in March and April. Spring mornings vibrate with their lively chatter and activity.

If you think that's a reason to celebrate - we agree! Furthermore, spring is the perfect time to welcome birds back to your yard with practical and beautiful items they’ll enjoy now and throughout the summer.

Making Birds Welcome

It doesn’t take much to satisfy a bird - just a little bird seed, a drink of water and a cozy place to sleep. And Christmas Central is glad to help provide all three!

Below, we’ve spotlighted some of this season’s favorite backyard bird accessories.

Bird Houses

red white and blue rustic wooden birdhouse

Start with something simple, like this cozy rustic bird house. With a distressed wood finish and quaint detailing, it already looks “lived in.” Access in the back makes cleaning easier. Set the bird house on a ledge or stand, or hang it from a branch or pole and you’re ready to welcome guests for the season.

Looking to upsize your birdhouse? Consider this New England cottage birdhouse, designed with wildlife-safe materials to accommodate wrens, chickadees, finches and titmice. Detailing includes soft gray paint with two wrap around porches and a cedar shingle style roof. This wooden bird house can be hung or set on a pedestal and the back wall can be removed for easy cleaning.

Bird Feeders

Dubbed the “sky cafe”, this generously proportioned bird feeder holds a gallon of seed and features a circular landing tray that seats a crowd. One of this feeder’s best features is the squirrel baffle roof to thwart pesky marauders. Hang this seed-in-the-round birdfeeder from a branch or pole and let the mealtime rush begin!

amethyst antique style glass bottle hummingbird feeder

Tiny and fast but infinitely fascinating, hummingbirds require a liquid lunch. This classic amethyst antique style glass bottle hummingbird feeder adds beautiful color to your garden. It features a wrap-around perch with five flower shaped feeding ports and holds 20 ounces of nectar. A detachable polished copper base makes cleaning and refilling quick and easy.

Bird Baths

Brighten your yard with this sunny orange and yellow sunflower bird bath bowl with a metal stand. Attract enthusiastic backyard bathers as they stop by for a quick snack and a splash. The 20-½ inch glass bowl lifts out easily to clean.

Birds need water in winter, too, and a deck-mounting bird bath bowl is a safe way to provide it while bringing birds in close for your viewing pleasure. An enclosed heating element keeps the water from freezing, while a tilt-to-clean feature makes maintenance a breeze.

Eager to wake up with the birds this spring? Bird feeders, birdbaths and houses can help you create the type of environment that will make your yard a popular bird hangout all season long.
