(ahss ssi frayge) English applies ossifrage to three birds: the bearded vulture; the osprey; and the giant petrel. The KJV included the ossifrage among the unclean birds (Leviticus 11:13; Deuteronomy 14:12 ). Other translations identify the bird as a black vulture (REB) or vulture (NAS, NIV, NRSV).
