Description
** The OFFICIAL and UTTERLY UNHINGED BIRD GUIDE based on the viral #rspb TikTok series. The perfect gift for anyone with a love of birds and all things bonkers!**
Once upon a time, an esteemed charitable organisation known as the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (or RSPB) started a TikTok account. Their goal? To inspire a love of birds in folks on the internet. Specifically through tomfoolery, malarky and bird memes.
And so, BIRD OF THE WEEK was born! That's right - THE viral video sensation where one LUCKY BIRD would be chosen through the spin of a (totally-not-rigged) wheel of fortune and viewers would learn amazing (and occasionally true) facts about it! And now, this TikTok phenomenon crash-landed right into the world of books to create a mish-mash bird guide for you to keep and cherish forever!
Featuring 52 brilliant British birds - holy moly, that's one to learn about every week of the year - each spread is packed with quirky illustrations, incredible photography, unbelievable facts and stats (some of which are even real), and LOTS of gags written by silly gooses, for silly gooses.
Along with a spotter's guide like you've never seen before and quizzes to test your newly acquired birdy skills - get ready for the silliest, most utterly chaotic bird guide you'll ever read!

Reviews / Votes
The serious title of this book doesn't reflect the joyful silliness of this guide to birds, based on the viral TikTok trend, where every 'bird of the week' comes with fun facts and stats, and quirky photos that raise a smile. * The Bookseller *More details
