Abandoning a Nest Before Sending Away

Question

I have a pigeon nest on my laundry balcony that belongs to me. Can I abandon it now after the eggs have already been laid to fulfill the mitzvah of sending away the mother bird? And if possible, should I do it?

Answer

Hello,

You can now abandon the nest and then send away the mother bird.
