Halakhah for Zevachim 128:19

כיצד לא קרב המתיר כמצותו מלק חוץ למקומו מיצה הדם חוץ לזמנו או שמלק חוץ לזמנו ומיצה הדם חוץ למקומו או שמלק ומיצה הדם חוץ למקומו

A BURNT-OFFERING OF A BIRD IS FIT [IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES]. SAVE THAT IT DOES NOT FREE ITS OWNER OF HIS OBLIGATION.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. supra 2a.');"><sup>29</sup></span> IF A SIN-OFFERING OF A BIRD OR A BURNT-OFFERING OF A BIRD WAS NIPPED OR IF ITS BLOOD WAS DRAINED OUT [WITH THE INTENTION] TO EAT WHAT WAS NORMALLY EATEN OR TO BURN WHAT WAS NORMALLY BURNT WITHOUT BOUNDS, IT IS INVALID, BUT DOES NOT INVOLVE KARETH; AFTER TIME, IT IS PIGGUL AND INVOLVES KARETH, PROVIDED THAT THE MATTIR WAS OFFERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS. HOW DOES HE OFFER THE MATTIR ACCORDING TO REGULATIONS? IF HE NIPPED IT IN SILENCE AND DRAINED THE BLOOD [WITH AN INTENTION OF] AFTER TIME; OR IF HE NIPPED IT [WITH AN INTENTION OF] AFTER TIME AND DRAINED THE BLOOD IN SILENCE; OR IF HE NIPPED IT AND DRAINED THE BLOOD [WITH AN INTENTION OF] AFTER TIME: IN THESE CASES HE OFFERED THE MATTIR ACCORDING TO REGULATION. HOW DOES HE NOT OFFER THE MATTIR ACCORDING TO REGULATION? IF HE NIPPED IT [WITH AN INTENTION OF] WITHOUT BOUNDS AND DRAINED THE BLOOD [WITH AN INTENTION OF] WITHOUT BOUNDS, OR IF HE NIPPED IT [WITH AN INTENTION OF] AFTER TIME AND DRAINED THE BLOOD [WITH AN INTENTION OF] WITHOUT BOUNDS; OR IF HE NIPPED IT AND DRAINED THE BLOOD [WITH AN INTENTION OF] WITHOUT BOUNDS;

Sefer HaChinukh

From the laws of the commandment is, for example, that which they, may their memory be blessed, said (Zevachim 64b), "How does the priest grab the fowl sin-offering at the time of melikah? He grabs the fowl's two legs between two of his fingers and its two wings between two of his fingers, and he stretches its neck upon the width of two of his fingers and does melikah. And this is from the hardest services in the Temple." But if he alters and grabs any place it is [still] fit. And any place on the altar is fit for melikah (Zevachim 63a). We can say that the explanation of this is also to quicken the matter of the poor person - and hence, it has no specific place. And the rest of its details are elucidated in Zevachim (see Mishneh Torah, Laws of Sacrificial Procedure 6).
