Midrash for Chullin 126:46
עוף טהור נאכל במסורת
For it has been taught: 'Characteristics which distinguish the eggs [of clean birds] are the same as those which distinguish [clean] fish'.
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."
