Birding Is My Favorite Video Game: Cartoons about the Natural World from Bird and Moon

Rosemary Mosco

Humorous, slightly sarcastic science cartoons about the natural world including animal dating profiles, wildlife wine pairings, threat displays of completely non-threatening animals, why hammerhead sharks have hammer heads, and much more.

Did you know which songbird's call sounds like "Cheeseburger!"? Or the difference between poisonous and venomous animals? Or the true interactions between milkweed plants and monarch butterflies?

Birding Is My Favorite Video Game explains these and many other observations from the natural world in more than 75 comics from science writer Rosemary Mosco's popular webcomic Bird and Moon. Sweet, funny, and educational, Mosco's colorful illustrations of different animal and plant species raise awareness for climate change and prove we are really not so different after all.

Featuring a wide range of our feathered friends, as well as turtles, bees, snakes, squid, friendly bacteria, and more, this is the perfect gift for:

  • The birder, biologist, or animal lover in your life
  • Anyone who enjoys random but cool trivia
  • Fans of quirky cartoons with a message.
