Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
Many birds of Palestine similar to our own. The “speckled bird” (Jer. 12:9) means a vulture. Birds were snared (Psa. 124:7; Prov. 7:23; Amos 3:5). Used for curing leprosy (Lev. 14:2-7). List of birds not to be eaten (Lev. 11:13-19; Deut. 14:11-19).
“Birds, Clean and Unclean” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
A list of the unclean birds is given (Lev. 11:13-20; Deut. 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 clean 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 Old Testament. See under each of the above names.
“Wings” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
Osprey
Used as a symbol of protection. Under “the shadow of God’s wings” is referred to in the Psalms; and the Lord said He would often have gathered Israel as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, but they would not (Psa. 17:8; Psa. 36:7; Psa. 57:1; Matt. 23:37; &c). Wings were given for rapid motion. The living creatures in Ezekiel 1 had each four wings, and those in Isaiah 6:2 and Revelation 4 had each of them six wings. God’s executives are swift messengers.
