If a bird kills other animals to get its food, eats meat, or is a dangerous bird, then is not kosher, a predatory bird is unfit to eat, raptors like the eagles, hawks, owls and other hunting birds are not kosher, vultures and other carrion-eating birds are not kosher either. [96]
However, the precise identity of the unclean birds is a matter of contention in traditional Jewish texts. It is therefore common to eat only birds with a clear masorah (tradition) of being kosher in at least one Jewish community, such as domestic fowl. Leviticus 11 lists the non-kosher flying creatures.

The atonement for eating it by mistake is to bring a korban hattath (atonement sacrifice). The prohibition on chelev is only regarding those animal types which were used as a korban: cattle, sheep and goat, which are the only kosher domestic livestock. Fats from avians and deer may be eaten, and different types of bovinae are in a state of doubt.
The eating of camels is strictly prohibited by the Torah in Deuteronomy 14:7 and Leviticus 11:4. The Torah considers the camel unclean, even though it chews the cud, or regurgitates, the way bovines, sheep, goats, deer, antelope, and giraffes (all of which are kosher) do, because it does not meet the cloven hoof criterion.
The Talmud [9] cites three opinions regarding the identity of the koy: . It is a type of wild deer (Hebrew: איל הבר) (identified by some as the mouflon [10]).; The Talmud brings down that some say it is a hybrid of a male goat (Hebrew: תיש) and a female gazelle (Hebrew: צביה).

Livestock or cattle, i.e. grazing beasts, are lawful except those that are explicitly prohibited. However, hunting is prohibited during "the pilgrimage".[2]This means that most herbivores or cud-chewing animals like cattle, deer, sheep, goats, and antelope are considered halal to consume.
Nikkur (Hebrew: ניקור) is the process of making an animal kosher by removing chelev (forbidden fats) and the gid hanasheh (sciatic nerve). [1] The basis for this practice is Leviticus 7:23, "You shall not eat of any fatty suet, whether from cattle, sheep, or goats."
