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 g ardens 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's webcam is set up in our resident beaver lodge. It was amazing to watch the day to day life of the beavers, until they took matters into their own hands. See Ellis Bird Farm's video from the beaver lodge to see what happens!
