the mother upon the young

The mother and her children together (originating from the commandment of sending away the nest, according to which one may not take the chicks or eggs in the presence of the mother).

("If a bird's nest happens to be before you in the way in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the mother sitting upon the young or upon the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young" – Deuteronomy 22:6)
