This playful t-shirt design is perfect for birders with a sense of humor. At first glance, the phrase might sound a little risqué, but seasoned bird lovers know it’s simply the truth: American Dippers really do like it wet. It’s a clever double meaning that combines cheeky fun with genuine natural history.

The American Dipper, also called the Water Ouzel, is a one-of-a-kind songbird found in fast-moving mountain streams of western North America. Unlike most songbirds, dippers thrive in aquatic habitats, hunting for insects and small invertebrates underwater. These plucky little birds can walk along the bottoms of streams, dive under waterfalls, and build their nests close to rushing water. For them, life is all about cold, clear, flowing rivers. For American Dippers, the wetter, the better.

The design pairs the witty text “American Dippers Like It Wet” with a simple silhouette of the bird itself. The graphic is rendered in a muted dark grey, with a distressed effect that gives it a stylish vintage look. This subtle retro vibe makes the shirt fun and eye-catching without being over the top. Shown here on a light baby blue women’s tee, the design also looks fantastic on other light or heathered shirt colors, making it versatile for both casual wear and birding outings.

Whether you’re buying it for yourself or as a gift for the birder in your life, this shirt is sure to spark smiles, laughs, and maybe even a few conversations about the quirky habits of one of North America’s most unique songbirds.

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.

It’s a perfect piece for bird lovers, parrot enthusiasts, and fans of antique naturalist art alike.

Can you believe it's been over 20 years since the Ivory-billed Woodpecker went from being "probably extinct" to "rediscovered"? The species made headlines back in April 2005 when experts from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology reported the discovery of at least one male Ivory-billed Woodpecker in the Big Woods of Arkansas. In the following years, expeditions were mounted and volunteers sought definitive proof... which was never produced.

In late 2021 and early 2022, the bird was in the headlines again... for the same reason. Still, definitive proof is elusive, but there are still some that hold out hope that the Ivory-billed Woodpecker still lives in the wild.

This continuing saga makes this species a Bird I'd Like to Find.

This design uses John James Audubon's painting of Ivory-billed Woodpeckers along with the letters BILF in a red ribbon below. The caption explains the acronym: Bird I'd Like To Find. This is a fun spoof of the MILF meme. Remember that?

This Ivory-billed Woodpecker design is shown here on a women's organic t-shirt. You can also find this on a wide variety of other apparel styles, as well as gifts and novelties here: BILF. See some fun examples below.

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.
