Sales and Fundraising

New Hope Bird Alliance receives some funds from the National Audubon Society each year, and we also apply for grants when appropriate opportunities present themselves. However, in order to work toward fulfilling our mission, we also sell bird houses, hold one fund-raising event each year, and accept tax deductible donations.

Bird Friendly Habitat Certification Payment

We ask for a $50 donation when we do a Bird Friendly Habitat Certification visit to defray our costs. If you have signed up for a property certification visit, been contacted, and the visit has been scheduled, then you can pay by check, credit card or PayPal account at the time of the visit, or pay online here by credit card or PayPal account by clicking on the “Add to Cart” button below. PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL YOUR CERTIFICATION VISIT HAS BEEN SCHEDULED. You must first sign up to be on our visit list on this webpage: Bird Friendly Habitat Certification program. Again, don’t pay until you’ve signed up for a visit, been contacted, and the visit is actually scheduled.





If you would like to make an additional donation to New Hope Bird Alliance, please choose an amount from the dropdown list and click the “Donate” button.

Bird Nest Boxes for Sale

New Hope Bird Alliance has three types of nest boxes for sale, one for Bluebirds, one for Brown-headed Nuthatches, and one for Eastern Screech-Owls. These nest boxes 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 Personal Delivery (IMPORTANT–NO MAIL 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 order at our regular monthly meetings (see Calendar) at the North Carolina Botanical Garden.

PLEASE NOTE: If you live outside our local area, we will NOT be able to deliver a bird house for you. If you have questions, please contact us before purchasing.

Bluebird Houses

Bluebird House

These Bluebird nest boxes have been carefully designed and constructed. Features include:

  • Entrance hole diameter (1 1/2 “) is just right for Bluebirds, too small for Starlings.
  • Metal flashing around the entrance hole helps deter predators such as squirrels.
  • Grooves on the inside of the door below the hole help the fledgling Bluebirds climb out of the nestbox when they are ready to take their first flight.
  • Hinged door makes it easy to clean out old nesting material.
  • Written instructions included to help with proper placement and maintenance.
  • Back board: 17″ tall
  • Box cross section: 6″wide x 6″deep.
