The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America (Bird Books, Books for Bird Lovers, Humor Books) by Matt Kracht

National bestseller and fan favorite―as seen on The Today Show! This humorous look at 50 common North American dumb birds is a perfect gift for the birder and anti-birder alike. For those who have a disdain for birds, or for bird lovers with a sense of humor, this snarky illustrated handbook is equal parts profane, funny, and—let's face it—true. Featuring 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! ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL: This uproarious guide to all things wings includes migratory maps, tips for birding, musings on the avian population, and lessons on the ethics of birdwatching. Plus, each entry is accompanied by facts about a bird's (annoying) call, its (dumb) migratory pattern, its (downright tacky) markings, and more. POPULAR AUTHOR: 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.

From the Publisher A humorous look at 50 common North American dumb birds For the aviary and anti-aviary alike. F*cking Pigeon Common Name: Rock Pigeon Oh my god, do I even need to talk about this bird?? They are tubby gray sacks-of-birdsh*t with tiny heads and short legs. You know this bird because they are f*cking everywhere, shitting on everything Fun Fact: Pigeons find their way home by using the Earth’s magnetic fields, as well as the position of the sun, and who knows what else. Apparently, you can even blindfold these sh*ts and they will still find their way back. What’s even the point? Save your tiny blindfolds for some other bird, I guess. Scarlet Teenager Common Name: Scarlet Tanager What is it with these tanagers? The males are possibly the most unnecessarily red birds in any eastern forest. They stay high in the forest canopy all summer long (doing god knows what) and then in the fall they just take off for South America. But not before inexplicably changing from red feathers to yellow-green feathers (which, by the way, makes them look just like the yellow-green females). I don’t know what they’re up to, but I don’t like it and somebody ought to do something about it.
