A Religious Bird ?

The Torah tells us of a bird called Chasida which translates into the kind / generous / pious bird. But surprizingly the Torah says it is unkosher ??
The Talmud explains that the name is due to its habit to be kind to its associates. But then why is it unkosher ? This is explained because it limits itself only to those. To others it is cruel which exposes it to be a fraud & a lesson for us to be kind to all.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
