Watching and feeding wild birds, or birding, is America’s second most popular outdoor pastime. (Gardening is #1.) Benson Ace offers a wide range of backyard birding supplies to help you attract and care for local wildlife. You’ll find everything you need to create a welcoming environment for birds. Explore our selection of bird feeders, birdhouses, and bird baths, available in various styles and materials to suit your backyard.

We also carry high-quality birdseed, suet, and nectar to attract a variety of species year-round. For added convenience, we have birding accessories like poles, hangers, and squirrel-proofing solutions to keep your feeders in top condition.

Tips for feeding wild birds

  • Offer a variety of foods: Different foods will attract different birds. 
  • Provide water: Birds love water, especially in the summer. 
  • Plant native plants: These plants provide food for birds year-round. 
  • Place feeders away from busy areas: Keep feeders at least 5 ft off the ground, and away from driveways, playgrounds, and homes. 
  • Feed in winter: Winter is hard for birds because natural food sources are depleted.
