Reviews

This book will have you doubled over with laughter.Its 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 thatthey are stalking us. The Mincing Mockingbirds new book documents the dangers we face. The bird rebellion has begun.Paste Magazine
