Deuteronomy 14:10-20

10 and whatever doesn't have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean to you.

11 Of all clean birds you may eat.

12 But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the peres, and the ozniah,

13 and the red kite, and the ayah, and the daah after its kind,

14 and every orev after its kind,

15 and the bas haya`anah, and the takhmos, and the sea-mew, and the netz after its kind,

16 the kos, and the yanshuf, and the tanshemet,

17 and the ka`at, and the rakham, and the shalakh,

18 and the khasidah, and the anafah after its kind, and the dukifat, and the atalef.

19 All winged creeping things are unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.

20 Of all clean birds you may eat.
