A comic field guide with a worldwide range

Matt Kracht’s parody field guide takes its irreverent bird-by-bird approach beyond North America, covering species from Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and both Americas. Each entry pairs bird facts—including calls, migration patterns, and markings—with comic names and drawings. A matching game, descriptor checklist, and identification tips add activities to the mix, while the book’s profanity-laden humor keeps the guide firmly in parody territory. Its combination of animal information and deliberately rude commentary makes the birds’ habits and appearances the material for both reference-style entries and jokes.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts open to a profane comic spin on bird facts
  • Bird lovers who enjoy irreverent humor
  • People seeking an illustrated bird-themed conversation piece or gag gift

Book overview

This must-have sequel to the bestselling parody book The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America proves that all birds are fascinating, wonderful, idiotic jerks--no matter where in the world they reside. "Full of NSFW names and descriptions for different species that'll have you LOL-ing even if you never actually go looking for said birds IRL."--Buzzfeed

Following in the tracks of the first uproarious and beloved bird book in the series, this hilarious sequel ventures beyond to identify the stupidest birds around the world. Featuring birds from North and South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania, author Matt Kracht identifies the dumb birds that manage to live all over the freaking place with snarky yet accurate names and humorous, anger-filled drawings. Offering a balance of fact and wit, this uproarious profanity-laden handbook will appeal to hardcore birders and casual bird lovers (and haters) alike. ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL: This laugh-out-loud funny spoof guide to all things wings includes a matching game, a bird descriptor checklist, and tips on how to identify a bird (you can tell a lot by looking into a bird's eyes, for example). Plus, each entry is accompanied by facts about a bird's (annoying) call, its (dumb) migratory pattern, its (downright tacky) markings, and more.
