מאה עופות טמאין יש במזרח וכולן מין איה הן
R'Isaac said: For the eating of clean birds we rely upon tradition.<a rel="footnote" href="#12"><sup>12</sup></a>
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."
