Commentary for Zevachim 133:11

רב אשי אמר בשלמא עולת העוף שעשאה למטה כמעשה חטאת לשם חטאת כיון דהא הכשירה בסימן אחד והא הכשירה בשני סימנין ועולת העוף למטה ליתא כיון דמלק בה סימן אחד נמשכת ונעשית חטאת העוף

For R'Adda B'Ahabah said: R'Joshua maintained: If a bird burnt-offering was offered below with the rites of a sin-offering and in the name of a sin-offering, immediately he nipped one organ thereof it is transmuted into a bird sin-offering.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For the latter requires one organ only. Hence immediately one organ is nipped, there is absolutely nothing to distinguish it from a sin-offering, and so it does turn into one before it can become unfit through having its rites incorrectly performed. This reason can only apply to a bird burnt-offering, for animal sacrifices require the cutting of both organs.');">¹¹</span> If so, a bird sin-offering which was offered above [the red line] with the rites of a burnt-offering [and] in the name of a burnt-offering, as soon as he nips one organ of it, let it be transmuted through the other organ into a bird burnt-offering?
