Leviticus 11:13

¹¹ They shall be an abomination to you; you must not eat their meat, and you must detest their carcasses.

¹² Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales shall be detestable to you.

Additionally, you are to detest the following birds, and they must not be eaten because they are detestable: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,

¹⁴ the kite, any kind of falcon,

¹⁵ any kind of raven,

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
