Monthly Photo Contest

Show Off Your Best Shot! Enter Our Monthly Photo Contest

Our monthly themed contest encourages you to share your wild bird photos, whether they are captured with your phone or a fancy camera. Each month we’ll share a theme to spark your creativity and invite you to share the wild bird moments that inspire you.

Every wild bird photo you submit — up to 10 per month — will be entered into a random draw for a $50 Wild Birds Unlimited gift card. There’s no judging for the “best” photo — every submission has an equal chance to win.

Best of all, your photos may be featured on our social media pages and at future events as we celebrate the wild birds that bring our community together.


November Back at the Buffet Photo Contest

November’s Theme: Back at the Buffet! 🍽️🐦

The backyard buffet is open for business! 🍽️🐦

With Project FeederWatch kicking off and activity picking up at backyard feeders, November is a great time to watch our feathered friends in action!

As winter approaches, birds are busy fuelling up and caching food to stock their winter pantries.

Whether they’re visiting feeders, feasting on natural foods, caching snacks or squabbling over the best bites, we want to see all that bird feeding and foraging action in your backyard or in nature!

Contest Details:

🐦 Submit up to 10 photos throughout November

🎁 Every entry goes into a random draw for a $50 Wild Birds Unlimited gift card. No judging, just for fun!

πŸ“ Open to our Wild Birds Unlimited Kanata & Ottawa store communities

Submit Your November Photos Here

Deadline: November 30, 2026

Please note: This photo contest is hosted by Wild Birds Unlimited Kanata & Ottawa, Ontario. We welcome photo submissions from bird lovers anywhere, but contest prizes are intended for our local community and must be picked up at either our Kanata or Ottawa store. Prizes cannot be shipped.

Happy birding, and we can’t wait to see who’s coming to dinner! 🐦🍽️
