Comentário sobre Kinnim 2:1
קֵן סְתוּמָה שֶׁפָּרַח מִמֶּנָּה גוֹזָל לָאֲוִיר, אוֹ שֶׁפָּרַח בֵּין הַמֵּתוֹת, אוֹ שֶׁמֵּת אַחַד מֵהֶן, יִקַּח זוּג לַשֵּׁנִי. פָּרַח לְבֵין הַקְּרֵבוֹת, פָּסוּל וּפוֹסֵל אֶחָד כְּנֶגְדּוֹ, שֶׁהַגּוֹזָל הַפּוֹרֵחַ, פָּסוּל וּפוֹסֵל אֶחָד כְּנֶגְדּוֹ:
Um par de pássaros não especificado, do qual um voou, ou que voou entre os pássaros designados para morrer, ou se um dos pares morreu, um segundo pássaro deve ser comprado para o pássaro restante. Se voou entre os pássaros que deveriam ser trazidos como sacrifícios, torna-se inválido e invalida seu pássaro correspondente [o outro pássaro de seu par], pois um pássaro que voa para longe de seu par é inválido e invalida seu pássaro correspondente.
Bartenura on Mishnah Kinnim
קן סתומה – that he did not specify that this one (i.e., bird) is for a sin-offering and that one is for a burnt-offering. And we don’t require that it had been decided upon, for it is obvious, that if one of them flew-off, he (i.e., the owner) would purchase another mate for the second [offering], for since they are separated one from the other (i.e., one for a sin-offering and the other for a burnt-offering), and each one has a designation/denomination upon it. But even a couple of sacrificial birds concerning which it has not yet been decided which is which and they stand together to be specified/defined, you might think I would say that if one flew off, the other would die, this comes to teach us that this is not the case.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kinnim
Introduction
You might call our mishnah "the pigeon that escaped." It deals with a case where a single bird from an "unassigned ken" one in which it has not been determined which bird is a hatat and which is an olah escapes. The question is: what is the status of the bird that remains and the bird that escapes.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kinnim
לבין המתות – among couples of sacrificial birds that their judgment is that all of them would die, as for example, a sin-offering that got mixed in with a burnt-offering, as it is taught in the first chapter (Tractate Kinnin, Chapter 1, Mishnah 2).

English Explanation of Mishnah Kinnim
If from an unassigned pair of birds a single pigeon flew into the open air, or flew among birds that had been left to die, or if one [of the pair] died, then he must take a mate for the second one. In all of these cases, one bird leaves the unassigned ken. Since both birds were unassigned, all he has to do is take a new bird for the remaining bird and offer one as a hatat and one as an olah. However, if it had been a "determined ken," one where we already knew which was which, he couldn't sacrifice the remaining one unless he knew whether it was the hatat or the olah. We should note that in all of these cases, nothing can be done with the bird that flew away, either because it is gone or dead, or because it became mixed up with other birds that must be left to die.

לבין הקריבות – whether a couple of birds concerning which it has not been decided which is to be burnt offering, and which of them is the sin-offering that stand to be offered up.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kinnim
If it flew among birds that are to be offered up, it becomes invalid and it invalidates another bird as its counterpart [in the pair]; for the pigeon that flew away is invalid and invalidates another bird as its counterpart [in the pair]. In this case, the bird that flew away gets mixed up with other birds from other undetermined kinim. It itself is invalid, and we can't simply find a partner for it (a shidduch, if you will) because any bird we take might have been from one of the other birds that was to be offered up. It also invalidates one of the other birds that it joins. We shall explain this in the following mishnayot.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kinnim
פסול ופוסל אחד כנגדו – because it is not undetermined, and has been decided if it is for a sin-offering or for a burnt-offering, therefore, it does not invalidate other than the one that is its match in the pair, as will be explained further on.
