Exotic Birds and Fruit is the seventh full-length studio album by British progressive rock band Procol Harum. It was released in 1974. Of special note is the release of the album in Argentina, calling the album "Pájaros Y Frutas Exóticas" (literally translated as "Birds and Exotic Fruit"). The cover artwork for the album is by Jakob Bogdani, a noted Hungarian artist whose paintings centred on exotic birds and fruit.
In 2009 Salvo reissued Procol Harum's entire discography on CD remastered by Nick Robbins. The reissue for "Exotic Birds and Fruits" included two bonus tracks personally selected by Brooker and Keith Reid. "Drunk Again" the B-side to the single "Nothing But the Truth" appeared on CD along with an alternate mix of "As Strong as Samson".
