The complete quotation, using the King James Bible of 1611, is as follows:

But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind, And every raven after his kind, And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant, And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten. But of all clean fowls ye may eat.

The birds listed are as follows, together with modern names and links to larger versions of their pictures:

The eagle and the ossifrage (eagle and bearded vulture)

The ospray and the glede (ospray and red kite)

The kite and the vulture (the black kite and the falcon)

The little owl and the great owl
