In Jainism, the main principle to remember here is ahimsa – not hurting any living being, especially intentionally.

If a pigeon has made a nest in your home and has even laid eggs:

1. Do not harm them

- Do not throw away the nest, eggs, or birds. - Do not frighten them or try to remove them forcefully. - As long as they are there, accept it as parasparopagraho jīvānām – living beings support each other.

1. Let the natural cycle complete

- Allow the eggs to hatch and the chicks to grow. - Usually, after some time, the pigeons will naturally leave the nest or use it less. - Only after they have clearly stopped using it, you may carefully remove the old nest if needed.

1. If the place is problematic (fan, wiring, puja room, etc.)

- Try gentle, non‑violent methods so that they do not build new nests there: - Close windows/vents with net or grill (without trapping any bird inside). - Hang cloth strips, reflective tape, or other soft deterrents before they start nesting next time. - But for the existing nest with eggs, Jain achar would still say: do not destroy it.

1. Spiritual viewpoint

- Causing direct death of embryos/eggs is considered serious himsa in Jainism. - Showing kindness and patience to birds is punya (good karma) and builds compassion in the heart. - You can do maitrī bhāvana – mentally wishing, “May these souls be safe and progress on their path.”

So, in simple words: Right now, let the pigeons stay and complete their life process. Later, kindly bird‑proof that area so new nests are not made there, all without hurting them.
