bird, that flieth, flying, fowl
“Birds” From 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).
“Fowl” From Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(flying). The Hebrew original embraces birds in general (Gen. 1:20; 1 Kings 4:23). The Greek provides the domestic limitation (Luke 12:24).
“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.
“Fowl” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
This term is used for every description of bird described as of the heaven and of the air, including those that feed on carrion, as in Genesis 15:11 and Revelation 19:17, 21; and those for the table (1 Kings 4:23; Neh. 5:18).
