The table below presents an aligned extract of verses or verselets
in
Lv01-14b
Both verses/verselets
discuss
the types of birds that may be offered as offerings.
The alignment justifies the Rashi comment that:
Here, in this verse, as well as throughout the rest of the Bible,
we always find children associated with Pigeons.
Similarly we always find turtledoves associated with lack
of reference to children. Hence we conclude that
a) When bringing turtledoves only adults can be brought as bird offerings while
b) When bringing pigeons only teenage/younger pigeons can be brought as a bird offerings.

Advanced Rashi:
We have defended this Rashi using the alignment method.
However we could have also defended it using the format
method since the repeated keyword of in Lv01-14
which states ...he shall bring his offering of turtledoves
or of pigeons, creates a bullet like structure
emphasizing the distinctness of each enumerated item: a) turtledoves
and b) child pigeons.
Similarly we could have defended this Rashi using the database
method since a database review of all verses referring to turtledoves
and pigeons always associates the adjective child with pigeons,
not with turtledoves.
