try under welding suplies in your local yellow pages.
btw 100 3' sticks cost me about $40, it would be a life time supuly for most crafts uses.

If you don't want to make them, most pottery barns and craft stores have them.

Craft Supplies has an assortment of ornamental holders.
They won't hold the bird houses I make. So ordered some 3/32" x 12" long solid brass rod from HobbyLinc.com 1-888-327-9673 last Apr. Had to make my own wood base.
Got 16 pieces Product number K+S 163 for $9.19 + shipping.
They have other sizes & lengths if you need them.

Just do a search for wire and rod.
Only complaint have with rod I got, looks like coat hanger wire. Also the labels glued on each rod a real PITA to take off. Easy to bend around little jig I made by hand though.

Ordered a bunch of Mini Mushroom Bird Stem Sku #618009, get 6 per pack for $1.99 + shipping.
These birds come with wire, to wrap around perch, still end up gluing them with CA to stay put. I drill a hole, still end up wrapping wire & gluing with CA glue. I snip off excess wire.
They have other birds & sizes.
Even with shipping found them cheaper than Michaels here in town.
