Commentary for Chullin 282:45
שלחה ואהדר לה רבא פרסתקי ותפסה
- That refers to the mother-bird.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., to take away the mother-bird is regarded by the Rabbis as theft, but only in the interests of peace, for the owner of the dove-cote has no doubt been looking forward to acquire this bird, since it has nested from time to time in his dove-cote, and it would therefore be wrong to deprive him of it. Similarly to take the egg, inasmuch as it has not wholly emerged from the mother-bird but is deemed a part thereof, would also constitute ht theft (Rashi) . Cf. however Tosaf. B.M. 102a, s.v. .');"><sup>29</sup></span>
