Reference for Zevachim 10:4

הָעוֹפוֹת קוֹדְמִין לַמְּנָחוֹת, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵן מִינֵי דָמִים. מִנְחַת חוֹטֵא קוֹדֶמֶת לְמִנְחַת נְדָבָה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהִיא בָאָה עַל חֵטְא. חַטַּאת הָעוֹף קוֹדֶמֶת לְעוֹלַת הָעוֹף. וְכֵן בְּהֶקְדֵּשָׁהּ:

The bird-offerings precede <i>Menachot</i> [meal-offerings] because they are a type of blood-offering. The <i>Chattat</i> of flour precedes the voluntary meal-offering because it comes [to atone] for a sin. The <i>Chattat</i> of a bird precedes the <i>Olah</i> of a bird, as does the consecration [of the sin-offering of a bird precede that of an <i>Olah</i>].
