Midrash for Chullin 126:38
ולעופות טהורים אין מספר
R'Zera enquired: Does 'master' mean a master in learning or in hunting? - Come and hear, for R'Johanan added: 'provided he was familiar with birds and their nomenclature'.
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."
