The Story
From the brilliantly unhinged mind of Matt Kracht comes A Dumb Birds Field Guide to the Worst Birds Ever — a deeply unscientific, wildly funny catalog of feathered jerks you’ll love to hate. Featuring 50 of the absolute worst birds to ever flap across the sky, Kracht gleefully roasts each one for their most terrible qualities, from their obnoxious calls to their smug little faces.
You’ll meet gems like the Cruddy Turdstone (Ruddy Turnstone), the Blank Staring-Eyes Flycrapper (Black Paradise Flycatcher), and the Dowdy Woodfucker (Downy Woodpecker) — each accompanied by furious, yet genuinely gorgeous, full-color illustrations. It’s the perfect book for bird lovers, bird haters, and anyone who’s ever been personally victimized by a pigeon.
Equal parts nature guide, rant, and work of art, this book proves one thing: not all birds are majestic. Some are just…the worst.
