חולין ק״ב ב — ד"ה אָכַל צִפּוֹר טְהוֹרָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ – בְּכׇל
Chullin 102b:1
Chachmei Bavel discuss the measure of bird meat subject to lashes for eating: a live kosher bird requires punishment for any amount, a dead kosher bird requires an olive-bulk, and a non-kosher bird requires punishment for any amount regardless of whether alive or dead, with a baraita presenting a dispute between Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi and Rabbi Elazar bar Rabbi Shimon over whether a live kosher bird smaller than an olive-bulk triggers lashes, though all agree that a strangled bird requires an olive-bulk measure.
אָכַל צִפּוֹר טְהוֹרָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ – בְּכׇל שֶׁהוּא, בְּמִיתָתָהּ – בִּכְזַיִת, וּטְמֵאָה בֵּין בְּחַיֶּיהָ בֵּין בְּמִיתָתָהּ – בְּכׇל שֶׁהוּא, הָכָא נָמֵי בְּמַשֶּׁהוּ בָּשָׂר גִּידִים וַעֲצָמוֹת. תָּא שְׁמַע: נָטַל צִפּוֹר שֶׁאֵין בּוֹ כְּזַיִת וַאֲכָלוֹ – רַבִּי פּוֹטֵר, וְרַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בַּר רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מְחַיֵּיב. אָמַר רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן: קַל וָחוֹמֶר, עַל אֵבֶר מִמֶּנָּה חַיָּיב, עַל כּוּלָּהּ לֹא כׇּל שֶׁכֵּן! חֲנָקָהּ וַאֲכָלָהּ – דִּבְרֵי הַכֹּל בִּכְזַיִת.
If one ate a kosher bird alive, one is punished with lashes for any amount, i.e., even if he ate less than an olive-bulk. If the bird was dead and was not ritually slaughtered, one is punished with lashes only if he ate an olive-bulk. And if one ate a whole bird of a non-kosher species, whether he ate it when it was alive or dead, he is punished with lashes for any amount, i.e., even if the bird contained less than an olive-bulk of meat. The Gemara answers: Here also explain that Rav’s statement is referring to a case of eating a small amount of meat along with sinews and bones, and the total volume is an olive-bulk. Come and hear another challenge based upon a baraita: With regard to one who took a live bird of a kosher species that did not have a volume of an olive-bulk and ate it, Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi exempts him from lashes and Rabbi Elazar bar Rabbi Shimon deems him liable for lashes. Rabbi Elazar, son of Rabbi Shimon, said: He should be liable based upon an a fortiori inference: If one is liable to receive lashes for eating a limb of a living animal, all the more so is it not clear that one is liable to receive lashes for eating all of it? The baraita concludes: With regard to one who strangled the bird and ate it, everyone agrees that he is liable to receive lashes only if it had the volume of an olive-bulk.
