Frequently asked questions
Cancel Birds & Blooms: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel your Birds & Blooms subscription in canada and reclaim control
What is Birds & Blooms and why cancellation matters
Birds & Blooms is a nature-focused magazine and digital platform that delivers backyard birding tips, wildlife gardening strategies, and nature photography content to Canadian subscribers. You can access it as a print magazine, a digital app on iOS or Android, or through a web-based subscription portal. Each platform operates independently, which means your cancellation method depends entirely on where you subscribed.
Whether you are downsizing your subscription portfolio, switching to a competitor resource, or simply no longer engaging with the content, cancellation should be straightforward and transparent. At Yafee, we recognize that managing subscriptions across multiple channels creates real friction for Canadian consumers. This guide walks you through every cancellation pathway so you cancel with confidence and avoid unwanted charges.
Understanding your subscription type
Your first step is identifying where you subscribed. If you signed up through the Apple App Store, your Apple ID manages the subscription. If you used Google Play, Google Play Services controls your cancellation. If you purchased a print subscription directly from the publisher or through a third-party reseller, you follow the publisher's specific process. Pinpointing your subscription source is critical because each pathway has different timelines and requirements.
Why subscription management matters in canada
Many Canadian subscribers forget where they signed up, which means auto-renewal continues charging them months after they stop reading. Auto-renewal is legal under the Competition Act, but the Act requires companies to make cancellation easy, transparent, and accessible. Yafee helps you navigate these protections and take control of your subscriptions immediately, ensuring you do not pay for content you no longer use.
Birds & Blooms pricing and subscription plans in canada
Here is the current pricing structure for Birds & Blooms subscriptions available to Canadian subscribers.
| Subscription type | Price (CAD) | Billing cycle | Platform | Auto-renew status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Birds & Blooms Premium (digital) | $5.99/month or $49.99/year | Monthly or annual | Apple App Store, Google Play | Yes, automatic |
| Print magazine (direct publisher) | Varies by promotion | Monthly, quarterly, or annual | Birds & Blooms website | Yes, unless you cancel |
| Print magazine (third-party reseller) | Varies by reseller | Varies | Subscribe-Renew.com or similar | Yes, unless you cancel |
| Web subscription (digital direct) | Varies by promotion | Monthly or annual | Birds & Blooms website | Yes, automatic |
Print subscriptions purchased directly from the publisher are often cheaper than app store versions, but cancellation requires mailed requests or online account access. Digital app subscriptions renew automatically on your scheduled billing date unless you cancel before that date arrives.
Your consumer rights under canadian law
Your cancellation rights are grounded in federal and provincial consumer protection legislation designed to protect you from unfair billing practices.
Competition act protections for auto-renewal
Under the Competition Act, the federal authority that oversees unfair business practices in Canada, any business charging you for an auto-renewing subscription must obtain your express informed consent before charging. This means the company must clearly disclose the price, the renewal terms, and the cancellation method before you agree to the subscription. Furthermore, the company must provide you with a simple cancellation mechanism that is easy to use and accessible to the average consumer.
If Birds & Blooms makes cancellation deliberately difficult, unclear, or requires you to call a phone line when online cancellation is available, that may violate the Competition Act. In such cases, you can report the company to the Competition Bureau, the federal enforcement body.
Provincial consumer protection acts
Canada's provinces each enforce their own consumer protection legislation. In Ontario, the Consumer Protection Act requires companies to honour cancellation requests within a specified timeframe. British Columbia's Consumer Protection Act, Quebec's Law on the Protection of the Consumer, and equivalent laws in other provinces all require transparency and easy cancellation. Consequently, regardless of which province you live in, you have statutory rights to cancel and stop being charged.
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel your Birds & Blooms subscription at any time before the next billing date. The company must honour your cancellation request and stop charging you. You cannot be charged for access after cancellation. If the company continues to charge you after you cancel, you can dispute the charge with your bank or credit card company and file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection office.
How to cancel Birds & Blooms on the apple app store (iOS)
If you subscribed through your iPhone or iPad, your Apple ID controls the subscription, and you cancel directly from your device settings.
Step 1: open your apple ID settings
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen to access your Apple ID profile.
- Select Subscriptions from the menu.
Step 2: find and manage the Birds & Blooms subscription
- Look through the list of active subscriptions to locate Birds & Blooms.
- Tap the Birds & Blooms subscription name to open the management screen.
- Review your renewal date and current billing cycle before proceeding.
Step 3: cancel the subscription
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the management screen.
- Apple will present you with a confirmation dialog asking you to confirm the cancellation.
- Tap Confirm or OK to finalize your cancellation request.
Important timing for apple cancellations
You must cancel before your next scheduled billing date. If you cancel on the 15th of the month but your subscription renews on the 20th, you are still charged on the 20th. Cancel at least one day before your renewal date to avoid the next billing cycle. Apple will provide you with a cancellation confirmation on screen. You can access your subscription history and cancellation records by returning to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions at any time.
How to cancel Birds & Blooms on google play (Android)
If you subscribed through an Android device using Google Play, you manage cancellation through Google Play Services on your phone or through the web portal.
Step 1: open google play on your device
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap the profile icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Select Manage subscriptions from the dropdown menu.
Step 2: locate the Birds & Blooms subscription
- Scroll through the list of active subscriptions to find Birds & Blooms.
- Tap the subscription name to open its management page.
- Review the renewal date and current plan details before cancelling.
Step 3: cancel through google play
- Tap Cancel subscription on the management page.
- Google Play may ask you for a cancellation reason; this is optional but helps the company understand churn patterns.
- Confirm your cancellation by tapping the final confirmation button.
Important timing for google play cancellations
Like Apple, Google Play charges you on your scheduled renewal date unless you cancel beforehand. Cancel at least one business day before your renewal date. Google Play sends a cancellation confirmation email to your associated Google account. Save this email as proof of cancellation in case a dispute arises later.
How to cancel a print or direct web subscription
Print subscriptions and web subscriptions purchased directly from Birds & Blooms require a different cancellation method than app store subscriptions.
Step 1: verify your subscription account
- Visit the Birds & Blooms website and locate the account login or subscriber portal.
- Sign in using your email address and password associated with your subscription.
- Navigate to your Account, Subscription, or Manage Subscription section.
- Confirm the subscription type (print, digital, or bundled) and the renewal date.
Step 2: submit your cancellation request online
- Look for a Cancel Subscription or Manage My Subscription button within your account dashboard.
- Click this button to initiate the cancellation process.
- The website may prompt you to confirm your cancellation or select a reason; comply with any required fields.
- Take a screenshot or save the cancellation confirmation page for your records.
Step 3: cancel by postal mail if online cancellation is unavailable
If the Birds & Blooms website does not provide online cancellation, or if you prefer written confirmation, send a cancellation request by registered mail (Canada Post Registered Mail with proof of delivery) to the publisher's customer care address. Include the following information in your letter:
- Your full name as it appears on your subscription account
- Your subscription account number or invoice number
- Your complete mailing address
- Your email address associated with the subscription
- A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my Birds & Blooms subscription effective immediately"
- The date you are submitting the cancellation request
Mail your cancellation request to the Birds & Blooms Customer Care PO Box address listed on your invoice or the company website. Keep a copy of your letter and proof of mailing as documentation.
Important timing for print subscription cancellations
Print subscriptions typically take 7 to 10 business days to process after the company receives your request. If you mail your cancellation, add 5 to 7 business days for postal delivery. Consequently, send your cancellation at least 15 days before your renewal date to avoid being charged for the next billing cycle. If you are charged after cancellation, contact the publisher's customer service immediately with your proof of cancellation request and dispute the charge.
Understanding refunds and billing disputes
Cancellation and refunds are two separate processes under Canadian consumer law.
Refund eligibility
Cancelling your subscription stops future charges but does not automatically trigger a refund for the current billing period. Under the Competition Act and provincial consumer protection laws, you are generally not entitled to a refund for content already delivered or already paid for, unless the company's terms of service explicitly promise a refund period. However, if the company charges you after you cancel, or if you cancel within a promotional trial period, you may be entitled to a refund.
How to request a refund
- Contact Birds & Blooms customer service with proof of your cancellation request (the confirmation email, screenshot, or mailing receipt).
- Explain why you believe a refund is warranted (for example, you cancelled during a trial period, or you were charged after cancelling).
- Request a refund in writing via email, keeping a copy for your records.
- If the company refuses, dispute the charge with your bank or credit card company within 60 days of the disputed transaction.
Disputing charges with your financial institution
If Birds & Blooms continues to charge you after cancellation, or if you were charged without authorization, contact your bank or credit card company and request a chargeback or dispute. Provide your bank with the cancellation confirmation email, screenshots, or mailing receipts as evidence. Your financial institution can reverse the charge and investigate the company's billing practices. Furthermore, if you have been charged repeatedly without authorization, report the company to your provincial consumer protection office or the Competition Bureau.
Common mistakes when cancelling subscriptions
Many Canadian consumers make preventable errors that delay cancellation or result in unwanted charges. You can avoid these pitfalls with careful attention to timing and documentation.
Mistake 1: cancelling after the billing date
If you cancel after your renewal date has passed, you will be charged for the next billing cycle. Check your renewal date before you cancel, and submit your cancellation request at least one full day beforehand. Yafee recommends setting a calendar reminder two days before your renewal date to cancel in advance.
Mistake 2: not keeping cancellation confirmation
If you cancel online, take a screenshot of the confirmation page. If you cancel by mail, keep the Canada Post receipt and a copy of your letter. If a billing dispute arises later, this documentation is your proof that you cancelled. Without it, the company may claim they never received your cancellation request.
Mistake 3: assuming cancellation is instant
App store cancellations take effect immediately on the cancellation date you select. Print subscription cancellations via mail can take 7 to 10 business days to process. Do not assume you are safe until you see the cancellation reflected in your account or until your renewal date passes without a charge.
Mistake 4: cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, cancelling through the Birds & Blooms website will not stop the app store charge. You must cancel through the platform where you subscribed. Yafee emphasizes that each platform maintains separate subscription records, so cancelling in one place does not affect the others.
What happens after you cancel
Once your cancellation is processed, your access to Birds & Blooms content and services will cease on your renewal date or on the date you cancel, depending on the platform.
App store subscriptions post-cancellation
After you cancel an app store subscription, you retain access to the app and any downloaded content until the end of your paid billing period. Once your paid period ends, the app will no longer provide access to premium features unless you resubscribe. Your subscription will not renew automatically on the next billing date.
Print subscriptions post-cancellation
If you cancel a print subscription before your renewal date, you will not receive any future copies. If you have already been charged for a period after your cancellation date, contact the publisher to arrange a refund or a partial credit toward a future subscription. Print copies already delivered to you are yours to keep.
Direct web subscriptions post-cancellation
After you cancel a web subscription, your account access will be suspended on your renewal date. You will no longer be able to log in or view archived content through the website. If you wish to preserve any content you have saved, download or screenshot it before your cancellation takes effect.

Escalation: what to do if Birds & Blooms refuses to cancel
If you submit a cancellation request and Birds & Blooms does not honour it, or if the company continues to charge you after cancellation, you have legal remedies under Canadian consumer protection law.
Step 1: contact customer service in writing
- Send a written cancellation request to the Birds & Blooms customer care email address or postal address, clearly stating your intent to cancel and the date you are requesting cancellation.
- Include your account number, full name, and the email address or phone number associated with your account.
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation within 5 business days.
- Keep a copy of this email for your records.
Step 2: file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection office
If customer service does not respond or denies your cancellation, file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority. Each province has a dedicated office:
- Ontario: Consumer Protection Office (Ontario government website)
- British Columbia: Consumer Protection BC
- Alberta: Fair Trading Act compliance officer
- Quebec: Office of the Protecteur du consommateur
- Other provinces: provincial ministry of consumer affairs
Provide the office with your cancellation confirmation, any emails from customer service, proof of unwanted charges, and a clear summary of the dispute.
Step 3: report to the competition bureau (federal level)
If the company's practices appear to violate the Competition Act (for example, if cancellation is deliberately obscured or made unreasonably difficult), you can file a complaint with the Competition Bureau, the federal agency that enforces the Act. The Bureau investigates false or misleading advertising and unfair business practices, including deceptive auto-renewal schemes.
Step 4: dispute the charge with your bank
If Birds & Blooms charges you after you cancel, contact your bank or credit card company and request a chargeback within 60 days of the disputed transaction. Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation as evidence. Your financial institution can reverse the charge and freeze the merchant account pending investigation.
