anon, you’re right, my bad. BUT we don’t eat birds who eat other birds (do we?)
No, we don’t. The birds that are tamei include those who catch prey, such as hawks, owls, falcons, etc. There are other reasons that certain birds are not kosher for us, but those that prey on others top the list. I guess the Torah really teaches us the concept, you are what you eat (the nature of the beast, I mean).
