About this product

Product Information

National Bestseller Featured on Midwest, Mountain Plains, New Atlantic, Northern, Pacific Northwest and Southern Regional Indie Bestseller Lists Perfect book for the aviary and anti-aviary alike A humorous look at 50 common North American dumb birds For those who have a disdain for birds, or bird lovers with a sense of humor, this snarky, illustrated handbook is equal parts profane, funny, and--let's face it--true. Featuring 50 common North American birds, such as the White-Breasted Butt Nugget and the Goddamned Canada Goose (or White-Breasted Nuthatch and Canada Goose for the layperson), Matt Kracht identifies all the idiots in your backyard and details exactly why they suck with humorous, yet angry, ink drawings. With The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America , you won't need to wonder what all that racket is anymore Each entry is accompanied by facts about a bird's (annoying) call, its (dumb) migratory pattern, its (downright tacky) markings, and more. The essential guide to all things wings with migratory maps, tips for birding, musings on the avian population, and the ethics of birdwatching. Matt Kracht is an amateur birder, writer, and illustrator who enjoys creating books that celebrate the humor inherent in life's absurdities. Based in Seattle, he enjoys gazing out the window at the beautiful waters of Puget Sound and making fun of birds. "There are loads of books out there for bird lovers, but until now, nothing for those that love to hate birds. The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America fills the void, packed with snarky illustrations that chastise the flying animals in a funny, profane way. " - Uncrate A humorous look at 50 common North American birds for bird lovers and haters alike A perfect coffee table or bar top conversation-starting book Makes a great Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthday, or retirement gift

"25 Best Gifts for Bird Lovers: If they love birds and a good laugh, this field guide could be the perfect gift. Filled with sarcastic ink drawings, critics say it'll make them laugh out loud. " -- Good Housekeeping, Holiday Gift Pick "A delightfully juvenile fake field guide about birds with such names as White-Breasted Butt Nugget and the Goddamned Canada Goose (or White-Breasted Nuthatch and Canada Goose as they are commonly known.) This book exists solely to make us giggle." -BookRiot, "There are loads of books out there for bird lovers, but until now, nothing for those that love to hate birds. The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America fills the void, packed with snarky illustrations that chastise the flying animals in a funny, profane way. " -Uncrate, "There are a lot of great bird field identification guides, but after a day afield with The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America , you will never look at birds or birdwatching the same again...You need this book if you want to lighten up your birdwatching." -- Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette, "There are a lot of great bird field identification guides, but after a day afield with The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America , you will never look at birds or birdwatching the same again...You need this book if you want to lighten up your birdwatching." - Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette, "This genius handbook by Matt Kracht takes a humorous approach to identifying 50 "dumb" North American birds -- highlights include the "White-Breasted Butt Nugget" and the "Goddamned Canada Goose," along with facts about the birds' "annoying" calls, "dumb" migratory patterns, "downright tacky" markings, etc." --Refinery 29, "This genius handbook by Matt Kracht takes a humorous approach to identifying 50 "dumb" North American birds - highlights include the "White-Breasted Butt Nugget" and the "Goddamned Canada Goose," along with facts about the birds' "annoying" calls, "dumb" migratory patterns, "downright tacky" markings, etc." -Refinery 29, "Matt Kracht's hilarious, fully illustrated, obscenely satirical spoof, 'The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America.' The bizarrely-behaving 50 birds that Kracht describes are technically real - the White-Breasted Nuthatch, the Canada Goose, etc. - though the author can't resist giving them insulting nicknames (The White-Breasted Butt Nugget, for example) while pointing out their various annoying peculiarities." -Petaluma Argus-Courier

    Such a funny book but not for children, mature language! Or maybe immature? But quick shipped and brand new!

    Great books

    Hilarious Bird Book

    Any birdwatcher will get a good chuckle from this book. It was a hit at the "Funny Christmas Gifts" party.

    Title is so misleading!

    The book is presented as a comical presentation of birds for bird enthusiasts. It uses foul language with stupid information about birds. Not at all what I thought the book was about!

    Laugh out loud

    If you like bird watching and can handle a few swear words buy this book. Makes you laugh out loud which was a welcome relief during these times. Well worth it.
