The Odd Earth Show’s Book of Literal Bird Names

20 Real Birds. All Ridiculous. All True.

Ever looked at a “sandpiper” and wondered if it’s just sand + a flute guy? Or thought a “snail kite” might be a snail… that flies a kite?
Well, now you don’t have to wonder.

This hilariously illustrated digital book takes 20 real birds and breaks their names down literally, with visual mashups, oddball facts, and just the right amount of bird-related nonsense.

Each page =
A real bird with a very real photo
➕ A ridiculous literal name breakdown (like sandwich + U-turn = Sandwich Tern)
➕ A short, funny explanation in The Odd Earth Show’s trademark voice

Perfect for:
✔️ Weird bird lovers
✔️ Quirky gift-givers
✔️ People who say “wait, that’s a real animal?”
✔️ Anyone who enjoys funny chaos
