Bird Houses for Sale
New Hope Audubon has two types of bird houses for sale, one for Bluebirds and the other for Wood Ducks. These bird houses are made by volunteer craftspeople at the Eastern Bluebird Rescue Group, a division of Newell Farms Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, Warrenton, North Carolina. We buy them at cost and add a mark-up for fund-raising with their permission.
All proceeds go toward fulfilling our mission to promote the conservation and enjoyment of birds, other wildlife, and natural ecosystems through public education, field research, advocacy, direct citizen action and contributions to other non-profit organizations with similar goals.
Pick-up or Delivery
After you make your on-line purchase below, we will personally make a delivery to you if you live in Chatham, Durham, or Orange Counties in North Carolina, or you may pick up your bird house(s) at our regular monthly meetings (see Calendar) at the North Carolina Botanical Gardens.
PLEASE NOTE: If you live outside our local area, we will have to make special arrangements that may increase the price. Please contact us before purchasing at: newhopeaudubon@gmail.com
