Does anybody know why the ostrich is considered an unclean animal, other than that it is listed as one in Leviticus 11? I know the pig is considered unclean because it is a scavenger, they eat other dead pigs should there be one, they have a one compartment stomach, etc., but I am having trouble finding information on ostrich. What do they eat? Are they scavengers? Are they disease bearing animals even after cooking the meat? Any info is greatly appreciated. I love ostrich but want to avoid anything that is not healthy for me. Thanks, Kristina
