Local Artists Support Ellis Bird Farm |

Thirty local artists have enthusiastically supported Ellis Bird Farm by donating their talents to paint bluebird boxes. The bluebird boxes, which are currently on display in the EBF Visitor Centre, have themes ranging from abstracts and old trucks to bluebirds and a box dedicated to Charlie Ellis. The boxes are a tribute to both local artistic talent and their support for the farm. All boxes will be auctioned off at the wine and cheese Evening Event on August 6th. The mayor of Red Deer, Morris Flewwelling, has offered to be our auctioneer for the night. Tickets for the Evening Event are $25 each and can be obtained by calling EBF at 403-885-4477.
EBF Summer Student, Erica Soley, holds two of the boxes that have been donated to our fund rasier.

Located in the heart of central Alberta, Ellis Bird Farm is both a working farm as well as a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of Mountain Bluebirds, Tree Swallows and other native cavity-nesting birds.
Drop-in visitors and tour groups are welcome at Ellis Bird Farm during the summer months, when we are open to the public. We invite you to stroll the trails, enjoy the beautiful gardens, see the world's largest outdoor collection of bluebird nestboxes, take a tour out to our bluebird trail, visit the Visitor Centre and linger in the Tea House.
Butterfly gardens, orchards, native wildflower gardens, hummingbird gardens and water gardens are linked by a network of trails, including an extensive wheelchair path. We invite you to visit us!
There is no charge to visit Ellis Bird Farm but donations are welcomed.
Ellis Bird Farm is proudly supported by MEGlobal Canada.
