Rambam, Hil. Melachim 9:10-11:
וְכֵן חַיָּב עַל אֵבֶר מִן הַחַי וְעַל בָּשָׂר מִן הַחַי בְּכָל שֶׁהוּא...
אֶחָד הָאֵבֶר אוֹ הַבָּשָׂר הַפּוֹרֵשׁ מִן הַבְּהֵמָה אוֹ מִן הַחַיָּה. אֲבָל הָעוֹף יֵרָאֶה לִי שֶׁאֵין בֶּן נֹחַ נֶהֱרָג עַל אֵבֶר מִן הַחַי מִמֶּנּוּ:
He is liable for punishment for eating any amount of the limb of a living animal or the flesh from a living animal...
The law is the same regarding a limb or flesh which separated from the animal or beast.* However, it appears to me, that a non-Jew is not executed for eating the limb of a live bird.
* I.e., whether a complete limb was detached and then a piece of flesh was separated from it, or whether the original detached piece was just flesh.
