tsip.por denotes a bird, whether classified among flying creatures, kept in view at a nest, or used in comparisons of flight and capture.

The term refers broadly to a bird or birds: it names creatures in dietary and ritual instructions, flying creatures and nest-dwellers, and the birds used in images of wandering, trapping, escape, and protection. The supplied verses do not require separate lexical senses for these settings.

   The singular and plural noun identifies birds in concrete settings: Deuteronomy 22:6 places one at a nest with young or eggs, Leviticus 14:4 calls for two living birds, and Psalm 104:17 says that birds make nests. The same noun supplies comparison imagery in Amos 3:5, where the APB renders a bird falling into a snare, and in Psalm 124:7, where it renders escape like a bird from a fowler's snare.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB usually presents the noun as “bird” or “birds,” including nest, flight, and snare contexts; it also uses “winged bird” in Deuteronomy 4:17. These English expressions confirm the verse-level setting rather than establish separate meanings.
