| Summary: | Birds, and especially necrophagous birds, are a common thread in the work of Francisco Ferrer Lerín, whose ornithological interests combine with other facets of his personality (mainly those of his life as poet and gambler) to configure a literary persona as singular as his narrative: that of the avenging polymath who goes about the world under the conservationist banner, of the naturalist who recovers the dunghill as a traditional feeding-place for livestock and as a mythical space in which his principle heteronym, the Vulture, circulates. This article, which focuses on his novel Familias como la mía and other narrative pieces, studies this rare confluence.
