Best known for his iconic \"The Bird\" feature in Punch magazine, Hargreaves brings his legendary observational skills to this delightful 1969 collection.\n\nThe \"plot\" is found in the silent, high-tension dramas of the avian world. Hargreaves’ scruffy, nondescript protagonist—a bird of uncertain species but undeniable personality—navigates a series of hilariously relatable struggles, from mid-air collisions and failed courtship rituals to the constant battle for a decent perch. The tension in these strips lies in the split-second before a comedic disaster, captured with a brilliant understanding of movement and animal psychology.\n\nWhether he's facing off against a rival or simply trying to survive the indignities of nature, Hargreaves' bird is a universal symbol of the \"little guy\" persevering with a ruffled but resilient spirit. This volume is a masterclass in captionless humor, making it a prized find for fans of classic British illustration and anyone who has ever looked at a garden bird and wondered what it was thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48755498221787,"sku":"2026200005014-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e523ab6c-c025-4d93-94e6-b421b2e52f58.png?v=1778221155","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200005014-secondhand-birds-of-a-feather","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
