Mesorat%20hashas for Zevachim 6:4

חַטַּאת הָעוֹף כֵּיצַד הָיְתָה נַעֲשֵׂית. הָיָה מוֹלֵק אֶת רֹאשָׁהּ מִמּוּל עָרְפָּהּ וְאֵינוֹ מַבְדִּיל, וּמַזֶּה מִדָּמָהּ עַל קִיר הַמִּזְבֵּחַ. שְׁיָרֵי הַדָּם, הָיָה מִתְמַצֶּה עַל הַיְסוֹד. אֵין לַמִּזְבֵּחַ אֶלָּא דָמָהּ, וְכֻלָּהּ לַכֹּהֲנִים:

How was the <i>Chattat</i> of a bird performed? He [the priest] would pierce its head at the back of its neck, but would not separate [its head from its body]. He would sprinkle its blood on the altar wall. The remainder of the blood was drained out on the base [of the altar]. Nothing [was placed] on the altar except its blood, everything [else] went to the priests.
