"This book will have you doubled over with laughter….It's so much fun."-Marney Rich Keenan, The Detroit News "For too long we have enjoyed our assumed power over the birds, reducing them to fetish objects of voyeuristic desire. Binoculars in hand, we stalk them in the forest, ignorant of the fact that they are stalking us . The Mincing Mockingbird's new book documents the dangers we face. The bird rebellion has begun."- Paste Magazine, "For too long we have enjoyed our assumed power over the birds, reducing them to fetish objects of voyeuristic desire.

Synopsis
A humorous, illustrated, pocket field guide describing where to find--or where to avoid--the most disturbed North American birds. The Mincing Mockingbird Guide to Troubled Birds allows anyone to quickly identify psychotic, violent or mentally unstable bird species--and provides the perfect gag gift for your bird loving (or fearing) friends and family. Throughout the book the reader will discover tales of murder, assault, mental breakdowns, obesity, drug abuse and infidelity among the birds. This guide is used and recommended by law enforcement agencies and ignored by leading ornithologists. We are only just discovering the reality of our avian adversaries, with their reptilian brains, their appetites for mayhem and the fact that they fly mostly to spite us. To ignore the information found within this volume may be at the peril of your very life.

    Great experience purchasing from them. The item arrived so well packed and secured that it took me around 5+ minutes just to open fully. Condition was as advertised (photos were accurate), price was exceptional, and the item was delivered ahead of schedule. I hope to be able to buy from them again!

    Items came exactly as described. All of the Blu rays and steelbook look fantastic. I am very happy with the quality of the product. The value I got, for the condition of the items is fantastic. I was able to make use of a “buy 8, get 50%” deal, which made the value quite incredible actually. Items were packaged professionally and shipped with care. All items were individually bubble wrapped and shipped in a box. Shipping was fast via USPS with tracking. I would do business with the seller again

    Not For Everyone

    This is a humorous account of what birds are really thinking. There are many excellent paintings of birds done in an original and offbeat style. Some of the birds' quotes are rough but quite funny. I would not recommend it for overly sensitive people.

  • I always knew they were up to something!

    Totally unexpected! So much fun, yet quite disturbing. Hitchcock knew the truth, but we didn't believe him..."it's just a movie"! Yeah, right!!!!!!!

  • Started out funny became offensive

    The book made the rounds for having funny captions to detailed bird paintings. Some of the stories however, delve into the offensive. This was not a happy surprise, a rather foul taste in my mouth. If your cup of tea doesn't include transmisogyny, don't get this book. It will disappoint.

  • Extremely droll!

    This is one very funny book, regardless of one's normal attitude toward birds.
