Hilarious Book for Adults
Bought this book for my daughter to put on her northern cabin coffee table. After seeing an interview with the author I already knew what to expect (adults only). I peeked at a couple of pages and was not disappointed. What a riot!

Super funny!
This book is hilarious! While you might not really be able to identify backyard birds with this guide, it's still super funny and worth it for the silly pictures and comedy alone. Beware, though! If you're offended by swearing, you will not like this. It has plenty of cursing in it, so think of it like a rated R movie.

Really funny
Listen, I love birds, but this book is hilarious. It’s got adult language in it and if that offends you just skip over it. It’s truly hilarious.

Amazing
Wonderful book, recently a friend of my was feeling down and this book rightfully cheered her up! There’s a lot of curses and bad words but that just adds to the humor. Instead of the typical bird or animal books that are very cut and dry with their explanations and descriptions, this book’s vulgar language brings a smile to the face and laughter to the room! I definitely recommend buying this if you don’t mind the cursing!

My new coffee table book!
Buyer beware, this book does have explicit language as other reviewers stated. If you are not offended by that kind of thing, you will love this book! It is absolutely hilarious and had me cracking up from front to back. I have it on my coffee table and love seeing the look of surprise on my friends faces when they pick it up.

Explicitly Rude
I purchased this book because it was touted as a "humorous" take on birds, particularly, so called, dumb ones. I was going to give it to my mom for her birthday because she is always bemoaning that antics of our local mockingbirds. Apparently, I did not read the description closely enough. I don't mind a saucy word or two, but this book was so filled with profane words and references that there is no possible way that I can give it to my mother. Also, the author was so "salty" about his disdain for birds altogether, not just dumb ones, that it wasn't really funny. This book would be better described as a bound rant from a bird hater. That said, I will be returning the book.

Good Language
Laughed across every page of this book! Lots of profanity. The description and cover percectly capture the hilarity this book has to offer.

Bad language
Do not buy this book without first reading this! I pre-ordered this book back in January as a gift for my 70 year old dad who is an avid birder. Got a phone call today that my dad received the book and boy am i embarrassed! The book has lots of profanity and even a certain four letter word (the review guidelines won’t let me tell you which one but use your imagination).
So disappointing to have what appears to be a cute addition to a birders library, turn out to be inappropriate. The book description should indicate this to the buyer so they can decide to purchase or not. I’m definitely getting the book and returning it to local Target store and showing them the book details.
