Zevachim has two big problems: the subject matter is genuinely difficult, and it (and nearby masechtos) was published from lower quality manuscripts than most of the standard Talmud text and the corrections based on better versions were only published as footnotes etc in the coming centuries...

The birds offered as sin offerings weren't eaten by the poor, only the priests: M. Zevachim 6:4
But AFAIK people could bring their own pigeons, buy them from sellers at the Temple, or just get the Temple staff to make all the arrangements. There wasn't a monopoly.

There is relevant discussion in Talmud Bavli, tractate Zevachim page 22a and 22b. The quality of the water can be very poor. The main issue is the capacity. Tractate Eruvim page 4b specifies a volume of at least 40 se'a, enough to cover a person completely.

There's multiple tractates in the Talmud relating to how the Temple and its associated processes functioned. See e.g. Shekalim, Zevachim, etc

Shalom friends!
Out of the fire of Zevachim & into the frying pan (…and also a slightly larger frying pan?) of Menachot! I try to get a handle on new #talmud material, and ask why“shewbread” is spelled like that. Welcome to #dafreactions Menachot 3: Deep Dish vs. Thin Crust!

The Talmud makes a distinction between animals that "copulated with a person" and animals that "were the object of bestiality" but Zevachim 85b finally establishes that "birds cannot be the active party in an act of bestiality". They might still be disqualified for sacrifice, though. It's not sure.
