मानुषाणां प्रमाणं स्याद्भुक्तिर्वै दशवार्षिकी।
विहंगानां तिरश्चां च यावदेव समाश्रयः॥
इन्दिश्चे स्प्रुचे २१८२ पञ्चतन्त्रे

As far as animals and birds are concerned, the ownership or possession enures or ceases immediately on lose of contact and control ..things under control alone are theirs at any time. This quote in Panchatantram is based on the Dharmashastram attributed to Narada. The period is 12 years according to some others
