Add "phile" to the end of a word or word stem to indicate love. A Larophile is someone who loves birds in the Laridae family -- gulls and allies. 

The word larophile comes from larus, the Latin root for gull, combined with -phile, meaning “lover of.” Quite simply, a larophile is someone who loves gulls. While gulls often get an unfair reputation as noisy beach scavengers, true larophiles know that these birds are intelligent, adaptable, and surprisingly diverse, ranging from the petite Little Gull to the impressive Great Black-backed Gull. Birders who call themselves larophiles often enjoy the challenge of identifying gull species, which can be tricky due to their variable plumages and seasonal changes. For them, every gull is worth a closer look.

This hat was made for anyone who loves to study and observe gulls. Gull foot yellow text reads "LAROPHILE" while an adult gull soars by. Can you ID this bird? Help shade your eyes from blinding sun glare with this gull lover hat.

This bold design makes a clear statement: cats belong indoors, for their own well-being and for the protection of native wildlife. It’s perfect for bird lovers, conservationists, and responsible cat owners who understand that keeping cats inside is healthier for both pets and the environment. While cats may enjoy prowling outdoors, studies show that they live longer, safer, and happier lives indoors, without the risks of traffic, disease, or predators. And of course, when cats stay inside, local bird populations and other small wildlife thrive.

The artwork itself delivers this message in a simple yet striking way. A sleek black cat silhouette stands in grass, but within the cat’s belly is the outline of a bird, symbolizing the impact outdoor cats can have on wild bird populations. Surrounding the image is a red prohibition circle and slash, the universal “NO” symbol, leaving no doubt about the message: no outdoor cats, no birds in bellies. It’s a design that speaks volumes at a glance, combining humor with serious advocacy.

Shown here on a sturdy ceramic mug, this original design makes a great conversation starter whether you’re at home or in the office. But it doesn’t stop there. You can also get it on a wide range of products, including t-shirts, tote bags, stickers, and more. However you display it, this design helps spread awareness while showing your love for cats, birds, and the natural world.

This design brings vintage bird art to life on a classic white t-shirt, featuring an old-school illustration by the renowned Dutch bird artist J. G. Keulmans. Known for his detailed and accurate ornithological paintings in the 19th century, Keulmans’ work is still celebrated today for its artistry and scientific value.

The artwork depicts a pair of Philippine Hanging Parrots, also called colasisi after the Tagalog name for the species. These small, vibrant parrots are native to the Philippines, easily recognized by their bright green plumage and splashes of red and blue. Keulmans’ illustration captures their lively colors and delicate features with incredible detail, offering a timeless portrait of this charming tropical bird.

Shown here on a basic unisex-cut white t-shirt, the design has a clean, retro feel that lets the artwork shine. If you’d prefer a different look, Zazzle makes it easy to customize—this illustration can be placed on over 100 different apparel styles, from fitted tees to hoodies, and even extended to other products in their expansive catalog.

This particular design is considered “retired” in our shop, which makes it a bit of a rare find. Right now it’s available on this unisex tee, but with Zazzle’s simple transfer tools, you can bring this beautiful vintage parrot illustration to any product that fits your style. It’s a perfect piece for bird lovers, parrot enthusiasts, and fans of antique naturalist art alike.

Urban Dictionary defines “put out” as the dispensation of sexual favors. Of course, that definition has absolutely nothing to do with this totally innocent, retro-style design made especially for backyard birders who take pride in putting out food for the birds.

The “I Put Out For Birds” graphic captures a sweet, nostalgic scene: two children in vintage clothing stand together at a wooden feeding station. The little girl scatters seed for a flock of friendly birds fluttering around, while a curious squirrel gets a hand-delivered treat from the boy. A patient bird perches on a stump nearby, waiting its turn. The whole illustration has a charming storybook feel, bringing to mind the simple joys of childhood and the timeless hobby of feeding wildlife.

To complete the look, the scene is paired with playful text in an old-timey font that reads “I PUT OUT FOR BIRDS.” The words, of course, mean only one thing here: offering food, kindness, and hospitality to your feathered (and sometimes furry) backyard visitors. It’s cheeky, it’s wholesome, and it’s sure to bring a smile to fellow bird lovers who share your sense of humor.
