Draft:Aaron Reynolds

Aaron Reynolds is a Canadian writer and the creator of several popular humor accounts on social media platforms, including Effin’ Birds and Swear Trek. He has won several Webby awards for his work.

Reynolds began the Twitter account Swear Trek in July 2016, adding vulgar captions to screenshots from Star Trek episodes. Part of the humor of the account derives from the fact that characters in Star Trek series rarely curse.

In May 2017, Reynolds began the Twitter account Effin’ Birds, which pairs vintage black-and-white woodcut stock illustrations of birds with vulgar phrases. In 2019, he published the book Effin' Birds: A Field Guide to Identification. In the book he deliberately provides bad identifications, for example identifying a peacock as a "Hipster Pelican".
