"Professional birding amateur" and bestselling author-illustrator Matt Kracht shares his hilarious new field guide "to help you identify and stay away from the absolute worst birds ever to plague planet Earth."


ABOUT THE BOOK

Professional birding amateur and national bestselling author Matt Kracht has had it with these goddamn birds. His new book is a warning, a field guide to help you identify and stay away from the absolute worst birds ever to plague planet Earth. Featuring an all-new scientific scale devised by the author that proves how awful birds really are.

We can all agree--birds are terrible. They're stupid and won't shut up.

Featuring fifty of the absolute worst birds to fly the earth, Kracht identifies each of their most terrible qualities, details exactly why they suck, and shows you why with furious (but actually quite lovely) full-color drawings. Including all-new, all-worst fowl, such as:

  • The absolute waste of feathers Cruddy Turdstone (Ruddy Turnstone)
  • The utter a-hole Blank Staring-Eyes Flycrapper (Black Paradise Flycatcher)
  • The outright loser Dowdy Woodfucker (Downy Woodpecker)
  • And many more
