Matt Kracht- professional birding amateur, bestselling author, and unapologetic bird hateris back, and hes done putting up with these goddamn birds. This new field guide is less about appreciating wildlife and more about surviving it. Armed with his own (definitely scientific) rating system, Kracht identifies the worst of the worst and proves once and for all that birds are loud, rude, and absolutely insufferable.

Inside youll find 50 of the worlds most terrible birds, roasted to perfection with furious (but honestly beautiful) full-color illustrations.

Meet the likes of:
Cruddy Turdstone (Ruddy Turnstone)– a complete waste of feathers
Blank Staring-Eyes Flycrapper (Black Paradise Flycatcher)– an unblinking nightmare
Dowdy Woodfucker (Downy Woodpecker)– an outright loser
and dozens more feathered disasters.

Packed with angry-but-informative entries, youll learn each birds dumb call, tacky markings, idiotic habits, and worthless contributions to the planet. There are even migratory maps and ID tips, because if youre going to hate birds, you might as well do it accurately.

Why youll love it (or hate it, whatever):

• Birds are the worst. Loud, messy, murderous idiotsand this book proves it.
• Funny and factual. Real info buried beneath all the profanity.
• From a bestselling author. Kracht has already called out dumb birds across North America and the whole stupid world. Now hes going after the truly worst of the worst.
• Great gift. Perfect for bird haters, bird lovers with a sense of humor, or anyone who needs a solid coffee table laugh.
