Evergreen Audubon has been making nestboxes specific to the species in the mountain area for more than 30 years. Our nestboxes are high quality, made with premium Western Red Cedar for outdoor durability. They feature metal predator guards to minimize squirrels and other nest predators from getting at chicks. (Flicker boxes are the exception, and we hope to find a predator guard solution for those boxes soon.)
Nestboxes are for sale at the Evergreen Nature Center in the Gift Closet, where you can also find other nature-themed gifts. We also sell the nestboxes every March at the King Soopers in Conifer and Bergen Park.
Our chickadee boxes are the most used by smaller birds. If you have bluebirds nearby, then you can use the bluebird box since smaller birds will also use it (the chickadee box hole is too small for the bluebirds). If you have flickers around, a flicker box may work – we also have nest platforms for robins and flycatchers.
Prices:
- Flicker $40
- Bluebird $30
- Chickadee $25
- Robin $15
- Flycatcher $10
We host a nestbox-building activity for the community every Fall where pieces pre-cut by Evergreen Audubon members can be assembled to make all the different types of nestboxes.
