Birds of prey are also excluded from Jewish dietary laws, not that many people I know would want to eat owls or eagles.... Jul 21 02, 1:31 PM

What are some examples of non-Kosher foods? Animals, such as pork, rabbit and horse meat, fowl, such as owl and storch, fish, such as cat fish, eels, shell fish, shrimp and octopus and insects are non-Kosher foods according to Biblical definitions. In addition, Kosher meat and fowl must be slaughtered by a specially trained expert in a painless ritual fashion in order to be acceptable. Dairy and meat products which commingle are not kosher. There are also special laws relating to cheese, grape juice and wine production.

Meat is kosher if the animal concerned chews the cud and has cloven hooves. So sheep, goat and cow are OK. Pigs don't chew the cud so they are not kosher. Rabbits do chew the cud (or the ancient Hebrews thought they did) but they don't have cloven hooves. The Kosher rules also specify the manner in which the animal is slaughtered and how the meat is cooked. Jul 22 02, 7:28 AM
