Study Guide

The Gemara continues to enumerate various species of birds, identifying which are kosher and which are not, while providing helpful mnemonics to remember their status. A debate is cited regarding whether there are 23 or 24 non-kosher bird species in total; both opinions require structural explanations as to how they arrived at their respective counts, given that there are 20 species listed in Vayikra and 21 listed in Devarim.

One can purchase eggs from a non-Jew, provided the non-Jew identifies the specific bird they came from, and that species is known to be kosher.
