The Birds Have Invaded for Halloween!

Creepy Birds Halloween Decorations

I don’t know if you saw the creepy crows wreath I made a couple of years ago, but when it was time to decorate my front porch back then, I decided it needed to take its place of honor on the front door with all of the other creepy bird friends invited for Halloween. This was the first time I  had a front porch like this, and I was so excited to decorate for the holiday.

Welcome to my Halloween Home

I bought quite a number of black crows at the Dollar Tree last Halloween and I ordered another box of 24 for them for this year to decorate my front porch.  I wanted the little “monsters” to be warned, so I found this sign and had my dear friend, Tricia, change the “monsters” to “birds”.  Several yards of black tulle were draped on the railings.

Beware of the Birds

I was so very fortunate to have a branch fall from a neighbor’s tree right before I began my decorating and decided it would be a perfect perch for my birds.

A bevy of birds has arrived on this branch.

My “tree” was so easy to anchor in a heavy crock.  I didn’t even have to scatter the leaves for atmosphere, they were happy to fall and blow around all by themselves.

This was a great branch from a sycamore tree, I think the little dried pods add to the creepy feel.

Creepy Rats greet guest for Halloween

The birds have let a few of their rat friends come to join the party!  These guys also came from the Dollar Tree.  I mostly kept them away from the birds and had them staged on one side of the front steps.

The opposite side of the front steps holds orange and black pumpkins with birds  perched on and around them.

Here is what it looked like at dusk! I lined the steps with orange glowing tea lights to guide the way.

I haven’t yet decided how I will decorate my front porch this year, but stay tuned!

  1. Love this! I have a large contorted branch and after seeing what you did, I think I will put some of those crows on it as well. Thanks for this amazing post. Are you not having a line party today as I was going to post something/ Valerie

  2. Your home is sure to be the envy of the block! So nice of mother nature to cooperate and scatter some leaves for you. Also, that night shot is fabulous.

  3. Love this! I am stealing some of these ideas. We don’t get any trick or treaters and we stopped having our annual party when my son got older, but we still decorate up a storm! Thanks for the ideas!!

  4. I love all of the creepy crows and rats. Those are two of my favorite things to decorate with around this time of year. Thanks for sharing at The Creative Circle. Hope to see you this week!!
