An Illustrated Guide to Birds that Sound Like Insults

A$25 · Offered by Harry Hartog Rare Books

Birds are beautiful majestic creatures—that happen to have names better suited for that guy who just cut you off in traffic. Features 160 pages, with illustrations and fun facts about all 75 birds. Hard-bound, debossed artwork cover. Impress people with both bird knowledge and witty comebacks. It’s a bird guide disguised as comedy gold! Inside you'll find a comprehensive, illustrated guide to 75 of our species—based solely on how well their names roll off our tongues when we're mad. These are real birds by the way, which really makes you wonder what was going on the day they named 'roufous-rumped seedeater.' Geez, take it down a notch.
