«Tres pájaros de cuenta» is a children's and young adult book by Miguel Delibes, published by Miñón in 1982 in hardback (77 pages, in Spanish).
The book collects three real stories experienced by Miguel Delibes and his family in Sedano: the relationship with a cuckoo, a rook and a tawny owl. Through these birds, the author combines the description of their morphology and behaviour with the account of their coexistence with people, in a simple and observant tone characteristic of his prose.
It belongs to the Las campanas collection, number 40, and includes illustrations by Luis de Horna.
Due to its simple language and short length, it is suitable for early readers, although the interest of the natural stories also reaches adults.
Miguel Delibes Setién was a Spanish novelist, journalist and newspaper editor associated with the Generation of '36 movement.

He later became the editor for the regional newspaper El Norte de Castilla before gradually devoting himself exclusively to writing novels.
