In the cleansing rite for someone healed of a skin disease, what was done with the live bird?

Answer: Released into the open field

After sprinkling the healed person seven times, the priest pronounced him clean and let the live bird go into the open field.

“Seven times he shall sprinkle the one to be cleansed of the skin disease. Then he shall pronounce him clean and release the live bird into the open field.”— Leviticus 14:7 (BSB)
