Torah Temimah cites Toras Kohanim (Sifra, Vayikra Dibbura DeChovah, Section 10).

Sefaria — Toras Kohanim (Sifra, Vayikra Dibbura DeChovah, Section 10)

Core Text — Toras Kohanim · Sifra DeChovah Sec. 10

יַעֲשֶׂה עֹלָה כַּמִּשְׁפָּט — כְּמִשְׁפַּט חַטַּאת הָעוֹף: מַה חַטַּאת הָעוֹף מוֹלֵק מִמּוּל עֹרֶף אַף עוֹלַת הָעוֹף.

“He shall make it an olah according to the rule” — according to the rule of the bird-chatas: just as the bird-chatas is nipped from opposite the nape, so too the bird-olah.

In the midrash: The phrase “ka-mishpat” transfers the procedural rule of the bird-chatas to its companion bird-olah. Both are therefore killed by melikah from the nape rather than by ordinary shechitah.

Type of Learning

Hekesh of the companion olah bird to the chatas bird via “ka-mishpat.”

What Is Learned

Both birds of the pair are killed by melikah from the nape. The olah follows the same bird-procedure as its chatas partner; the Torah does not require a different method of slaughter for the second bird.
