If you are wanting trees and shrubs with fruit and nuts for birds,
you probably just have to look under branches where birds sit to find
seedlings already growing from seeds in bird droppings, like holly,
pyracantha, cotoneaster. I also have walnut and filbert trees coming
up courtesy of squirrels.
Many of these plants grow well from cuttings, which will save you a
couple of years over seedlings and will give you plants of known
qualities.
