Tits, Boobies and Loons And Others Birds Named by People Who Clearly Hate Birds

About this book

From the monotonous lark to the rough-faced shag, these poor birds have us all asking: Are ornithologists OK?

Some people will literally name all the birds instead of going to therapy, and this book exposes all the weird and wonderful monikers these poor feathered creatures have been tarred with. From the go-away-bird and the common loon to the sad flycatcher and the sombre tit, we seriously have to wonder why such disturbed ornithologists even went into this line of work.

Tits, Boobies and Loons is for all fans of birds, language and rude words. Or anyone who secretly considers themselves a bit of a red-rumped bush tyrant.
