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

“Profane Language” is an understatement I thought, from reading the advert and a few “Look Inside” pages that this would be mildly snarky. It was much more profanity-laced as the book went on. Nothing I could enjoy, but, a couple of my siblings find it delightful… all the more because I am so straight-laced and pure of heart that they’d never have expected me to pick out such a book.I still like the drawings, but the “F” bombs were too much for my delicate sensibilities.

vulgar birding book I enjoy a wide variety of humor. The occasional “f-bomb” does not bother me. This book is an example that too many vulgar words are simply NOT funny. Being a birdwatcher, I was looking forward to a great read. I actually purchased this book as a birthday present for my birdwatching spouse. I had to apologize for my selection. I have read this book once, and that was one time too many. This book will end up in the “charity” box. What a disappointment. Don’t buy this book. Donate the…

Hilarious, Accurate As an ornithologist with a cheesy sense of humor, this book really appealed to me. I pre-ordered it and once it arrived and I had wiped away the tears of joy after laughing my ass off, I immediately bought two more copies to give to my coworkers.
