Deuteronomy 14:13 Midrash: Sifra

וְהָרָאָה֙ וְאֶת־הָ֣אַיָּ֔ה וְהַדַּיָּ֖ה לְמִינָֽהּ׃

and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite after its kinds;

Sifra

3) R. Akiva says: "Ayah" is written here and "ayah" is written elsewhere (Devarim 14:13). Just as with "ayah" there, "ra'ah" is a kind of "ayah," (making it subject to "you shall not eat,") so, with "ayah" here, "ra'ah" is a kind of "ayah," (making it subject to "you shall not feed").
