Brass Monkey Illustrated Guide to Birds


Part bird guide, part comedy masterpiece 🐦 The Brass Monkey Illustrated Guide to Birds is a hilariously unconventional field guide that celebrates nature's most majestic creatures—and their wonderfully ridiculous names.

Packed with illustrations, fun facts, and plenty of humor, this pocket-sized hardcover book introduces readers to 75 real bird species, each selected not just for their unique characteristics, but for names that sound suspiciously like creative insults or phrases you'd yell after someone cuts you off in traffic.

From amusing bird names to fascinating trivia, this book combines genuine bird knowledge with witty commentary, making it equally entertaining for birdwatchers, nature lovers, and fans of clever humor.

Beautifully designed with a debossed hardbound cover, it's the perfect coffee table conversation starter, stocking stuffer, or gift for anyone who appreciates both wildlife and a good laugh.

Shipping + Return Policy

Shipping Policy

We’re all about fast, fabulous, and fun — but we’re not Amazon drones (yet). Here’s how shipping with Twirls + Twigs works:

Processing Time

We need up to 3 business days to wrap your order in gratitude (and bubble wrap) before handing it off to the shipping powers that be.

Shipping Rates & Delivery

  • Shipping costs are calculated at checkout (sorry, the post office doesn’t accept hugs as currency).
  • Delivery times depend on your carrier’s mood, traffic, and whether Mercury is in retrograde.

Local Pickup

In the neighborhood? Swing by our Valley Village shop and pick up your goodies for free. We’ll even cheer for you when you walk in.

Delays Happen

If your package takes a detour (blame weather, carrier hiccups, or cosmic chaos), we’ll help track it down, but a little patience goes a long way.

Address Oopsies

Double-check your shipping info at checkout — once it’s shipped, we can’t chase down a wrong address (no matter how magical our socks are).

Lost or Damaged

If your package arrives looking like it lost a battle with a raccoon, email us within 3 days with photos. We’ll make it right — gratitude guaranteed.

Refund policy

We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

To start a return, you can contact us at sales@twirlsandtwigs.com. Please note that returns will need to be sent to the following address: 12441 1/2 magnolia Blvd Valley Village CA.91344 

If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

You can always contact us for any return question at sales@twirlsandtwigs.com.
