Serviceberry is a small tree that the birds adore - if you can put it in the corner where it can get bigger it will be of help. Some of the cultivars can be more shrub-like. And while birds love berries, there are also a great many birds that love insects. Oaks are one of the best trees for caterpillars (not a lot, mind you, just enough for the birds to munch on). Again, could be in the corner if size is an issue. Shrubs that act as host plants for butterflies (like oaks) feed birds even when berries are gone. Viburnums are good but keep cross pollination in mind - you need two viburnums that bloom at the same time which are not identical (so they can't be two of the same cultivar name) to get the best fruit set. Do consider native ones for the best impact. Good fruiting hollies are the winterberry hollies which are deciduous, but they are male/female (as are all hollies) so be sure to choose at least one of each. Elderberries are nice. Birds also are draw to areas that have cover so if you can get an evergreen or two that would help. Here is a link that might be useful: this might be useful

I wouldn't have classified this as a succulent, either, but it is definitely a cool looking plant that is not that common. The same species is available thru some wholesale nurseries such as San Marcos Growers out of Santa Barbara, so you can find it outside of botanic garden sales. I've seen it growing in full sun, well drained and low water gardens here in the San Francisco Bay Area, also, but it doesn't tend to be long lived unless it has perfect drainage, and full sun. Tip pinching to renew it and keep it from getting rangy or too woody also helps, as does a pebble mulch to keep the basal stems drier in winter.
