The annual Birdhouse Building Contest at Wing Haven is an opportunity for adults and children to construct a unique birdhouse that showcases their creativity and highlights the need for bird nesting sites. Houses built by registered participants will be on display in Wing Haven Garden & Bird Sanctuary April 1-30.

All garden visitors are invited to vote on their favorite houses and learn more about providing adequate bird nesting sites through provided educational materials.

To kick off the program, on Friday, April 1, and Saturday, April 2, local bird enthusiasts will be present to answer questions about bird nesting sites and other habitat conservation efforts.

Visit Wing Haven during open hours, Wednesday-Saturday, 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. (and Wellness Wednesday hours, 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.), to stroll the gardens and cast your votes. Winners will be announced in the first week of May.

To enter the contest, submit your birdhouse and application by Monday, March 28th, 2022. Contest entry fee of $10 supports educational programming at Wing Haven.
