“And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;”
The red kite, any kind of black kite. The listing of birds of prey continues: kites — the red kite and all varieties of black kite. The any kind of designation extends the prohibition to the entire species group, not only the specifically named variety. The comprehensive coverage of bird species through type-inclusion prevents the evasion of identifying an unlisted variety as potentially clean. The unclean designation covers the entire genus, not only the named representative.
