Professional birding amateur and national bestselling author Matt Kracht has had it with these damn birds. His new book is a warning — a field guide to help you identify and stay away from the absolute worst birds ever to plague planet Earth. Featuring an all-new, totally unbiased scientific scale devised by the author that proves how awful birds really are.

Featuring 50 of the absolute worst birds to fly on the earth, Kracht identifies each of their most terrible qualities, details exactly why they suck, and shows you why with furious (but actually quite lovely) full-color drawings.
