The Torah itself itemizes all of the different species of un-kosher birds.
What should one do if one isn't familiar and cannot recognize the birds that are mentioned in the Torah that are un-kosher and cannot distinguish which birds are kosher?
So the rabbis gave us distinct characteristics of birds so that even a novice could distinguish which birds are kosher and which ones are not.
For example, a bird that is a predator and consumes its prey alive, is an un-kosher bird.
A bird that eats food thrown in the air is considered a דורס .. a predator and that bird is not kosher.
If we find a bird that doesn't have the characteristics just mentioned, we must then examine it to see if it has any of the kosher characteristics.
Which are:
(1) An extra finger
(2) A crop, זפק, that is the place where the bird stores what it has eaten before its digested.
(3) And finally, If one can easily peel off the outer membrane of the gizzard without having to use a knife.
