A Dumb Birds Field Guide To The Worst Birds Ever Book

$15.95

More dumb birds! Whether you love birds or (rightfully) hate them, Matt Kracht is back with a field guide to help you identify—and stay away from—fifty of the absolute worst birds ever to plague planet Earth. Each entry details exactly why the bird sucks, with furious (but actually quite lovely) full-color drawings and facts about its (annoying) call, its (dumb) migratory pattern and its (downright tacky) markings.

Meet all-new, all-worst fowl such as the Cruddy Turdstone (Ruddy Turnstone) and the Blank Staring-Eyes Flycrapper (Black Paradise Flycatcher). For those who hate birds and for bird lovers everywhere with a sense of humor, this illustrated handbook is equal parts profane and funny—and, let's face it, true.

Matt Kracht is the author of the bestselling Field Guide to Dumb Birds series and OMFG, BEES!
