If you come across a bird's nest, in any tree or on the ground, with fledglings or eggs, with the mother bird sitting on the fledglings or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother bird with the young — the law protecting the mother bird (lo tiqach ha'em al habanim) mandates releasing the mother before taking eggs or chicks; the protective measure ensures reproductive continuity of the species.
