BOOK INCLUDES – 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.
