Midrash for Chullin 126:60
לוקחין ביצים מן העובדי כוכבים בכל מקום ואין חוששין לא משום נבלות ולא משום טרפות
For when questioned about it the gentile could always evade the issue by naming other clean birds unfamiliar to the Jew.
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."
