This was a fun read.

Very silly and goofy.

There were a few moments that I laughed out loud at.

Also had some good bits of actual education in it - a few birds I had no idea existed, and I thought it was pretty interesting.

I have to admit, I enjoyed this more than [b:The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America|41188319|The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America|Matt Kracht|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1538448702l/41188319._SX50_.jpg|64371504].

4★: MY 2nd MATT KRACHT BOOK; NOT AS GREAT AS HIS 1st BUT STILL GOOD. Short, amusing, slightly educational, and definitely irreverent. And you can’t go wrong with swear words and birds. I expect this to be the last of his bird books, but hopefully he keeps writing.

It doesn't quite capture the fun frustrations/annoyances of the first book.
If it didn't have the 'fowl' language I'd rate it higher because then it could be enjoyed with my kids - they'd have a blast with the humor and illustrations.

I was hoping for something with more substance than just what sounds like a little kid who just learned to curse and is taking it out on birds (without any finesse, let that be known). I guess the title warned me but still, I had hope it would actually be something interesting and at least well parodied but in my opinion, it’s just straightforwardly dumb.
