After describing describing how the burnt offering of the bull is to be done, God told Moses to also inform the Israelites how to offer sheep, goats and birds. It is very clear that all of them are equally pleasing aroma to God, because it is not about the animal being burned, but about the heart of the person making the sacrifice. If your heart is to give your best to God, it doesn't matter if it is a bull or a pigeon, it is acting out of faith that is pleasing to God. Unlike the bull, they were to offer the sheep and the goats on the north side of the altar, but they were to slaughter it and sacrifice it in a very similar way. The bird was to be sacrificed differently. The head was to be twisted to kill it and its crop (a place for pre-digestion in the neck of the bird) was to be torn out. The blood was put at the base of the altar, while the crop and the feathers of the bird were to be put on the east side (toward the entrance to the courtyard) of the tabernacle. The bird was then to be burned as a sweet aroma to the Lord. Unlike the bulls, sheep and goats, it is not the offeror that kills the bird, it is the priest.
