Min far kan lide fugle er en lyrisk, fragmenteret og koncentreret fortælling om en skilsmisse og om et barns vanskelige forhold til sine forældre. Gennem 72 små prosastykker fortælles der om en families opløsning, og bogen fremstiller den ensomhed og det savn, der følger i kølvandet på komplicerede og brudte familierelationer.
