הגוזלות שעל גבי הסלים. שהיו תולים מאחורי הסלים של בכורים תורים ובני יונים, ולא על גבי הסלים ממש שלא יטנפום. והן קרבין עולות:
ומה שבידם. רמב״ם פירש הגוזלות שהביאו בידם שלא תלאום אחורי הסלים. ולי נראה ומה שבידם, הבכורים שהביאו בידם:

Mishnayos Bikkurim Perek 3 Mishnah 6
ביכורים פרק ג׳ משנה ו׳
Bartenura
רבי יהודה אומר: עד ארמי אובד אבי – But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
ואוחזו בשפתותיו וכהן מניח ידו תחתיו – from here it implies that the basket was on the hand of the Kohen but the owners would hold the basket above with their lips at the time of the waving; but not according to the words of the one who says that the Kohen places his hand underneath the hand of the owners and waves it.
בצד המזבח – in the southwestern corner
והשתחוה ויצא – from here it implies that he did not wave it other than only once at the time of the recitation [of the verses of Deuteronomy 25:5-10] alone. But the Tanna of the Sifre (the Midrashic verse-by-verse commentary on Deuteronomy) requires two wavings – one at the time of the recitation, as it is written (Deuteronomy 26:4): “The priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down [in front of the altar of the LORD your God],” and we derive the [double-usage] of the word “hand”/יד from [the verse] (Leviticus 7:30): “His own hands shall present the LORD’s offerings by fire.” Just as there, [it requires] waving, so here too [there is] waving. And the second [waving] comes after he completed the Recitation. Since after the Recitation, it is written (Deuteronomy 26:10): “And you shall leave it [before the LORD your God and bow before the LORD your God].” The language [of the Biblical verse] (Exodus 32:34): “Go now, lead the people where I told you,” which refers to the waving that “he draws it away from himself and brings it towards himself, raises it and lowers it.”
רבי יהודה אומר עד ארמי אובד אבי. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:
ואוחזו בשפתותיו וכהן מניח ידו תחתיו. מכאן משמע שהסל היה על ידו של כהן אלא שהבעלים אוחזים הסל בשפתותיו למעלה בשעת התנופה. ושלא כדברי האומר כהן מניח ידו תחת יד הבעלים ומניף:
בצד המזבח. בקרן דרומית מערבית:
והשתחוה ויצא. מכאן משמע שלא היה מניף כי אם תנופה אחת בשעת הקריאה בלבד. ותנא דספרי מצריך שתי תנופות אחת בשעת הקריאה דכתיב (דברים כ״ו:ד׳) ולקח הכהן הטנא מידך והניחו וגמרינן יד יד מידיו תביאנה את אשי ה׳, (ויקרא ז׳:ל׳) מה להלן תנופה אף כאן תנופה והשנית לאחר שהשלים הקריאה, דלאחר הקריאה כתיב והנחתו, לשון לך נחה את העם (שמות ל״ב:ל״ד) דהיינו תנופה שמוליך ומביא. מעלה ומוריד:

In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

הגוזלות שעל גבי הסלים – that they would hang turtle-doves and pigeons and from the back of the First Fruit baskets, and not by the side of the baskets themselves so that they not be soiled, and these are burnt-offering sacrifices.
ומה שבידם – Maimonides interpreted that the young children when they brought them in their hands, did not hang them on the back of the baskets, and it appears to me, what was in their hands? It was the First Fruits that they brought in their hands.
