"The Virtue of Being Humble" 

Rebbi Eliezer states: "Hashem says: 

"I love the Jewish a whole lot, because even at a time when I grant and bestow greatness upon you, you humble yourselves before Me."

And this is exactly what Moshe Rabbeinu meant when he said before his death:

לא מרובכם מכל העמים חשק ה' בכם ויבחר בכם כי אתם המעט מכל העמים

"Not because you are greater than all the nations did Hashem desire you but because you are small in number "

Meaning: 

Though המעט in the literal sense means a "relatively small number," 

the verse can also be understood as referring to Klall Yisroel's humility."

When Hashem bestowed greatness upon Avraham Aveenu and promised him that his children will grow into great nations and other blessings .... Avraham Aveenu responded:

ואנכי עפר ואפר  "I am only earth and ashes"

When Hashem bestowed greatness and royalty to Moshe and Aharon ..... making Moshe a leader and Aharon the High Priest .....

they responded with humility:

ונחנו מה  ..... "What are we?" in other words: "We are not worthy"

"How To Identify A Kosher Bird" 

The Torah itself itemizes all of the different species of un-kosher birds.

What should one do if one isn't familiar and cannot recognize the birds that are mentioned in the Torah that are un-kosher and cannot distinguish which birds are kosher?

So the rabbis gave us distinct characteristics of birds so that even a novice could distinguish which birds are kosher and which ones are not. 

For example, a bird that is a predator and consumes its prey alive, is an un-kosher bird.

A bird that eats food thrown in the air is considered a דורס .. a predator and that bird is not kosher.

If we find a bird that doesn't have the characteristics just mentioned, we must then examine it to see if it has any of the kosher characteristics. 

Which are:

(1) An extra finger

(2) A crop, זפק, that is the place where the bird stores what it has eaten before its digested.

(3) And finally, If one can easily peel off the outer membrane of the gizzard without having to use a knife.

"Rav" 

On this daf, the Talmud relates that Resh Lakish and Reb Yochanan were sitting in the Bet Medrash and were discussing halachois in the name of Rav!

Who was Rav?

Rav was born in Baval and his actual name was Rav Abba bar Aiyvoh .... he was called "Rav" because he was the Rebbe of the entire Jewish people that lived in Galut!

R' Chiyah who was the distinct student of Reb Yehuda Ha'Nasie was Rav's uncle.

When R' Chiyah decided to make Aliyah, he took his nephew, Rav, with him and placed him in the Yeshivah of Reb Yehuda Ha'Nasie, where Rav thrived and became a great talmudic scholar. 

Rav decided to return to Baval, his birthplace, but not before he received "Smicha" from Reb Yehuda Ha'Nasie which gave him the license to Judge and to Teach.

After a couple years in Baval, Rav again returned to Eretz Yisroel to continue his studies with Reb Yehuda and after R' Yehuda's demise, Rav continued learning with Rav Gamliel Ha'Nasie the son of R' Yehuda. 

He then returned to Baval once more.
