The Feathered Feast - Backyard Birds as Dinner Guests

In-store presentation at Wild Bird Unlimited Kanata

What if your backyard birds joined your Thanksgiving dinner? Would the woodpeckers carve the turkey, or the finches hog the mashed potatoes?
Bring your sense of humour and discover which seeds your backyard birds love as we match their personalities and foraging styles to stereotypical holiday dinner guests.

As a special Thanksgiving thank-you, you’ll head home with a treat so your backyard birds can enjoy a feast of their own!

Interested in birdwatching but not sure where to start?

Join us for a FREE beginner bird walk hosted by Wild Birds Unlimited Kanata & Ottawa!

This month, join Daniel Shaw and David O'Neill at Andrew Haydon Park for an evening of sunsets, shorebirds, and silhouettes! The focus of our bird walk will be learning how to identify birds by their flight patterns, shapes, and behaviours, while also exploring their daily routines and migration movements. We hope to spot a variety of ducks, shorebirds, other waterbirds on the river and small songbirds in the trees along the route.

📅 Date: Wednesday, October 15th
⏰ Time: 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
📍 Location: Andrew Haydon Park (Ottawa Ontario)

The walk will last about 1.5 - 2 hours and will follow the paved pathways and grassy areas around the ponds and along the shore of the Ottawa river. We may take a short dirt path to stand on the shoreline/mud flats of the Ottawa River. Please dress accordingly, the breeze off the river can be chilly.

Important Information:

Registration is limited to 20 participants and fills quickly.

If your plans change, please email us at [email protected] so we can offer your spot to someone on the waitlist.

After submitting, you’ll receive a copy of your responses as confirmation. Meeting details will be emailed the week prior to the walk.

We look forward to birding with you!
