Reference for Temurah 6:4

נָתַן לָהּ כְּסָפִים, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ מֻתָּרִין. יֵינוֹת, שְׁמָנִים, וּסְלָתוֹת, וְכָל דָּבָר שֶׁכַּיּוֹצֵא בוֹ קָרֵב עַל גַּבֵּי מִזְבֵּחַ, אָסוּר. נָתַן לָהּ מֻקְדָּשִׁין, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ מֻתָּרִין. עוֹפוֹת, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ אֲסוּרִין. שֶׁהָיָה בַדִּין, מָה אִם הַמֻּקְדָּשִׁין, שֶׁהַמּוּם פּוֹסֵל בָּהֶם, אֵין אֶתְנָן וּמְחִיר חָל עֲלֵיהֶם, עוֹפוֹת, שֶׁאֵין הַמּוּם פּוֹסֵל בָּהֶן, אֵינוֹ בַדִּין שֶׁלֹּא יְהֵא אֶתְנָן וּמְחִיר חָל עֲלֵיהֶן. תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר (שם), לְכָל נֶדֶר, לְהָבִיא אֶת הָעוֹף:

If he gave to her (the prostitute), they are permitted. [If he gave to her] wines, oils, finely sifted flour, or anything like them that can be offered on the altar, [they are] forbidden. If he gave to her sanctified objects, they are permitted. [If he gave to her] birds, they are forbidden. [It is possible to learn this] from a rule [of logic] (A kal v'Chomer): With sanctified [animals] a blemish forbids them [from being offered], but the status of "prostitute's fee" or "exchanged" do not fall upon them. With birds, which are not forbidden because of a blemish, is it not logical that the status of "prostitute's fee" or "exchanged" should [definitely] not fall on them? [Therefore] the Torah teaches (Deuteronomy 23:19), "For all vows," to include the birds.
