Clean And Unclean Birds <ref name="term_65248" />  

<p> A list of the unclean birds is given in Leviticus 11:13-20; Deuteronomy 14:12-18 . In the A.V. the unclean are called the Bat, Cormorant, Cuckoo, Eagle, Gier Eagle, Glede, Hawk, Heron, Kite, Lapwing, [[Night]] Hawk, Ospray, Ossifrage, Owl great and little, Pelican, Raven, Stork, Swan, Vulture, and 'fowls that creep, going upon all four.' This leaves for the <i> clean </i> birds the Bittern, Crane, Dove, Ostrich, Partridge, Peacock, Pigeon, Quail, Sparrow, and Swallow. Of these the [[Ostrich]] is supposed to be among the unclean under the name of Owl; the [[Peacock]] was not a native bird of Palestine; and the [[Bittern]] and [[Crane]] were inhabitants of the marshy ground among the reeds, and were probably classed with the unclean under some of the above names. We do not read of the ordinary domestic fowl in the O.T. See under each of the above names. </p>
