What is the ruling on slaughtering pigeons that build their nests on the home air conditioner, knowing that there is a large quantity of ownerless pigeons in the area?

If the pigeon has no owner, it is permissible to take it, slaughter it, and benefit from it. However, if it is owned by someone else, it is not permissible to take it, and it can be scared away by suitable means.
