Mishnah 1א׳

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:

An unspecified pair of birds, from which one flew off, or that flew among birds designated to die, or if one of the pair died, a second bird should be bought for the remaining bird. If it flew off among birds that were set to be brought as sacrifices, it becomes invalid and invalidates its matching bird [the other bird of its pair], since a bird that flies away from its pair is invalid and makes its matching bird invalid.

Mishnah 2ב׳

כֵּיצַד. שְׁתֵּי נָשִׁים, לָזוֹ שְׁתֵּי קִנִּים וְלָזוֹ שְׁתֵּי קִנִּים, פָּרַח מִזּוֹ לָזוֹ, פּוֹסֵל אֶחָד בַּהֲלִיכָתוֹ. חָזַר, פּוֹסֵל אֶחָד בַּחֲזִירָתוֹ. פָּרַח וְחָזַר, פָּרַח וְחָזַר, לֹא הִפְסִיד כְּלוּם, שֶׁאֲפִלּוּ הֵן מְעֹרָבוֹת, אֵין פָּחוֹת מִשְּׁתָּיִם:

How is it? If there are two women, this one has two pairs and this one has two birds and one bird flew from this woman's [pair] to the other woman's [pair] , it invalidates one bird by its leaving. If it then returned [to its original pair] it invalidates one by returning. If it flew back and forth multiple times it does not cause further invalidation since even if they are mixed up, there are at least two [valid] birds remaining.
