Ellis Bird Farm Blog
Ellis Bird Farm is celebrating Canada Day in a big and feathered way for our sesquicentennial year. We will be highlighting the effort to officially re-name the Gray Jay the "Canada Jay" and make it Canada's national bird. Towards that effort, we will have a petition available for you to sign. We will have Gray Jay photos and video footage from our webcam this spring, as well as a nest on display.
There will also be crafts and face painting from 1:00PM until 3:00 PM and a rousing rendition of Oh Canada sung at 1:00 PM, along with an acknowledgement of the Indigenous presence in Alberta and the signing of Treaty Six. Myrna Pearman will be giving an update on her Beauty Everywhere project at 2:00. Finally, we will demo one of our beautiful and well-occupied Purple Martin apartment-style nestboxes at 12:00 noon and 4:00 PM. There is something going on for every member of your family! As always, we will be open 11:00 AM until 5:00 PM.
