the ostrich, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
Commentary on Leviticus 11:162 voices
The owl - בת היענה bath haiyaanah, the daughter of vociferation, the female ostrich, probably so called from the noise they make. In the lonesome part of the night, says Dr. Shaw, the ostriches frequently make a very doleful and hideous noise, sometimes resembling the roar of the lion; at other times, the hoarser voice of the bull or ox. He adds, I have heard them groan as if in the deepest agonies. - Travels, 4th edition, p. 4
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
No less than twenty species of birds, all probably then known, are mentioned under this category, and the inference follows that all which are not mentioned were allowed; that is, fowls which subsist on vegetable substances.

the ostrich, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
Commentary on Deuteronomy 14:151 voice
Of all clean fowls you may eat. [4.] They are further forbidden, First, To eat the flesh of any creature that died of itself, because the blood was not separated from it, and, besides the ceremonial uncleanness which it lay under (from Lev. xi. 39 ), it is not wholesome food, nor ordinarily used among us, except by the poor.
