Original Designs: Funny Birder Gifts

Birding is a fun hobby that has inherently funny moments. The original birdwatcher designs here are inspired by the humorous side of birding. We've got lame birder puns, cheeky suggestive designs, and even stuff for the anti-social birder, though I'm not sure who's giving that guy any gifts. Popular designs inspired by pishing, twitching, and wacky bird song mnemonics are here, too! Check out the list of designs in the Categories menu or scroll down to find highlighted selections and then browse through our offering.
