Bible Verses About Birds: What species were unclean

“‘These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture,

and the red kite, any kind of black kite,

any kind of raven,

the horned owl, the screech owl, and the gull, any kind of hawk,

the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,

the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,

the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

“‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.

But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the osprey,

the red kite, the falcon, the kite after its kind,

every raven after its kind,

the ostrich, the owl, the seagull, the hawk after its kind,

the little owl, the great owl, the horned owl,

the pelican, the vulture, the cormorant,

the stork, the heron after its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.

All winged creeping things are unclean to you. They shall not be eaten.
