Tosefta for Chullin 122:12
הוה ליה פרס ועזניה שני כתובין הבאין כאחד ושני כתובין הבאין כאחד אין מלמדין
Now it is inconceivable that the one characteristic of cleanness of each of these two species does not recur among the others, so that it is a case of two verses which teach the same thing!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So that we could not have inferred from either of them that a bird with only one characteristic of cleanness was unclean; hence the specification of the eagle in the Torah becomes superfluous.');"><sup>8</sup></span>
Tosefta Zevachim
One who slaughters [an animal intended for] a burnt offering [with the intention] to sprinkle its blood outside (i.e., outside the Temple), or some of the blood outside, to eat its flesh outside, or an olive's bulk of its flesh outside: It is disqualified, but they may not hold [the priest] liable for excision, and you can say the same as to uncircumcised and impure [priests]. One who slaughters a sacrificial animal [with the intention] to eat an olive's bulk of the skin of the fatty tail outside its designated area: It is disqualified, but [the priest] is not liable for excision. [But if he intended to burn it] beyond its designated time, it is piggul, and they hold him liable for excision. Rabbi Elazar ben Yehuda of Aveilum (not "Ochlin"; see Hul. 122b:7) said in the name of Rabbi Yaakov, and so too would Rabbi Shimon ben Yehuda of K'far 'Ikkom say in the name of Rabbi Shimon: The same law applies to the skin of the fatty tail and the skin of the head and the skin [covering] the hooves.
