Midrash for Chullin 126:27
אלא לאו ש"מ
fishes, eight hundred species of [unclean] locusts, but the species of [unclean] birds are innumerable.
Sifrei Devarim
And we are taught that the unclean beasts (and animals) are more numerous than the clean ones; for in all places Scripture specifies the lesser, viz. (Devarim, Ibid.) "This is the beast that you may eat … (5) the hart, the gazelle, and the fallow deer."
