Professional birding amateur and bestselling author Matt Kracht is back—and madder than ever. Dumb Birds Field Guide to the Worst Birds Ever is the ultimate warning manual, exposing the absolute worst birds to ever flap their stupid wings. If you thought birds were annoying before, just wait until you meet these feathered disasters.
With furious (but undeniably beautiful) illustrations and an all-new scientific scale proving just how awful these creatures are, Kracht delivers fifty of the most insufferable birds, including:
🦅 Cruddy Turdstone (Ruddy Turnstone)—a total waste of feathers
🦉 Blank Staring-Eyes Flycrapper (Black Paradise Flycatcher)—an absolute a-hole
🐦 Dowdy Woodfucker (Downy Woodpecker)—a complete and utter loser
TRULY THE WORST BIRDS---A MUST-HAVE GUIDE: Even if you're familiar with the winged disasters from Matt's previous guidebook/warnings, buckle up. From the introduction:
"Birds are TERRIBLE. I have spent years, YEARS, of my life studying birds. Watching them. Analyzing their behaviors. Determining their ‘contributions’ to the world. I am an expert, so believe me when I tell you this: Birds are horrible people. And the birds included in THIS book are, by far, the worst of the lot. Of all the shit-eating birds that I’ve had the misfortune to catalog over the course of my career as a scientist and professional bird critic, THESE birds take the absolute SHIT-CAKE!"
Whether you're a bird lover with a sense of humor or someone who knows these sky-rats are out to ruin your life, this guide will have you laughing, learning, and questioning why birds even exist. Packed with ridiculous migratory maps, foul-mouthed facts, and scathing commentary, this is the perfect book for birdwatchers, bird skeptics, and anyone who enjoys a good rant.
Warning: May cause excessive laughter and an irrational fear of birds.
