Question
When should the mitzvah of sending away the mother bird be performed, during the day or at night? And how do I renounce it if it's on my balcony?
Answer
Hello,
A. According to the law, it is permitted to perform at any time, but in practice with pigeons, the female usually incubates at night, and during the day sometimes the male does.
B. Declare that you renounce it. [In practice, even if you did not declare, it is not necessarily yours, as people today are not interested in birds].
