Welcome to MagnificentFrigatebird.com! My name is Amy and I'm a birder living in central Florida. On this site you can browse through my t-shirts and novelty gifts for birders, find optics for birding, shop for bird books and birding supplies, including feeders, bird baths, and other back yard birding supplies.
In this week's T-Shirt Tuesday I'd like to highlight a pop-culture inspired birding-themed t-shirt design we first introduced back in 2008. This one is part of our Pop Culture collection: Dial B for Birder. I was thinking about making a birding spoof design using the fact that...
The Bird is Right was first added to our shop back in 2009. The classic spoof design is inspired by the game show The Price is Right and comes complete with a flamingo silhouette instead of a dollar sign. This funny spoof design is cute for birders,...

The theme of the book is survival, with threats ranging from plastic pollution in the ocean and scary stormy weather explained in simple but scientifically accurate language appropriate for young children. The environmental message...
The species accounts are fairly straightforward, with an overview page for each family of raptor (Accipiter, Buteo, Falcon, etc) and then several pages devoted to each species.
