Midrash for Chullin 126:43
כדרב הונא אמר רב ואמרי לה אמר רב הונא אמר רב משום ר' מאיר
[We must suppose the case to be that] he says, 'It is of such and such a bird', which is clean.<a rel="footnote" href="#13"><sup>13</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."
