Children not being taught respect for nature

Ahhhh for forks sake!

I was in Smithfield yesterday feeding some pigeons. I gained their trust and had two or three eating from my hand and I was even taking photos up close wit the other hand.

Suddenly, as I was about to snap a picture, a five year old kid ran through the pigeons on the ground and came very close up to me to scare the pigeons in my hand. His hag of a mother cackled like a witch and encouraged him.

What a bitch and what a brat of a child. Do children have no respect for nature?

I was clearly interacting with the birds and feeding / taking pictures.

Pure scum.

Ah come of it you must be like the bird lady from home alone 2.....

Kids love to chase things they just see them as flying rats anyway.

Children seem to be allowed do whatever they want these days with little to no repurcussions. I was in a shopping centre today and had to leave because of the amount of little terrors allowed stroll around busy shopping centre unattended, walking into people and lie flat on the ground and scream for no reason.

When I was a child (only 20-15 years ago or so) I had a fear and respect for adults and never would have behaved like that.

I don't think a child running through feral pigeons is much of an example of the attitude of children in general to Nature.

I regularly visit schools on Nature topics and generally they have wonderful appreciation for Nature.

Shouldnt be feeding the pigeons or any birds unless bad weather. Your hurting nature.

Kid was wrong also

Ahhhh for forks sake!

The child is a little gurrier and his mother is an unfit mother. the pigeons flew into my face when the little sh1t scared them. Discipline needs to be brought back. Why unnecessarily taunt nature like that?

Filthy begging city pigeons isnt what jumps to my mind when I hear 'nature' and also its just one kid, doesnt mean all the other kids act the same way. I do see a lot of kids run through pigeons because they like seeing the whole flock all flapping away, theyre just having fun, theyre kids!

Change the thread title so. "A child not being taught..."


Debatable whether feral pigeons are "nature" any more than feral cats are.

Get a grip... A five year old runs at pigeons. That's squarely within the realm of normal five year old behavior!

Scum!? Jeez.

Maybe head away off out to the countryside with yourself if you want to be at one with the pigeons..

For the record, urban Pigeons would eat right out of your ass if you presented it to them filled with food. It doesn't make you one with nature I'm afraid.

This sounds like fairly childish behavior.

Isn't this what adults do on a regular friday/sat night?

Why do northside Dubliners keep pigeons? To teach their children how to walk.

OP theres so many great topics of conversation you could of used to prove how kids are being dragged up these days but bleeding Pigeons!!

Kid was showing them where they were in the pecking order.

Nature classes to be added to school curriculum on top of Consent classes on top of Fat bastard classes for all 5 year olds.

I'm sorry but your outrage is simply hilarious. Are you seriously saying that a child running through a group of birds is scum?

You must have had a rather restrained childhood.

I was expecting to see something about children blow-torching animals, or intentionally polluting the environment.

When I take my 9 year old nephews into any open space they run around like tornados at anything that catches their eyes. Why? Because they're little boys, and that's what little boys do. It's a good thing when kids run around letting off steam.

The kid was just being a kid.

Ditto my 1 year old nephew and almost 40 year old me. We men never really grow out of 'running around like headless chickens'

We should all run around having fun more often. The pigeons won't mind, only the OP

The vast majority of the time kids are bastards is because there ma and da are useless.

I have two kids hes four and she is just over a year the easiest part is teaching them right and wrong and a bit of cop on i actually enjoy it!

Either the parents don't give a ****e about them or there too busy letting them live free and express themselves......

Bull**** pure and simple. I spend most of my free days being a total dope and having the laugh with my kids i love it and so do they but the older fella knows bloody well that if he makes a show of me or his mother or does something he shouldn't be doing he wont get away with it!

Exactly. When our 2 year used to throw tantrums when out, i just carry him out to the car and go home. Kids are smart, they learn quickly .

Likewise , myself and my six year old neice ,according to my sister are a bad influence on each other.

Apparently pick n mix are not a suitable breakfast .

FFS the child was 5 and having what’s called ‘fun’, you’ve obviously never heard of it. You should try it sometime, it’ll give you something to do other than feeding flying vermin.

Feral pigeons at that. Not wood pigeons or native doves. If the kids was chasing off a gaggle of wild geese I'd frown, but "pure scum"? Cop on!

By the way. Hope you had a good wash after handling city feral pigeons! Google feral pigeon diseases, mites, ticks and lice!!! You may be closer to nature than you wish.

You said that the child was 5. This is what 5 year old do. It's not a new thing either they've been doing it since the beginning of time. It's called playing

I don't think I've ever come across any child that doesn't like to chase the pigeons away its natural when you're a kid i used to chase them as well when my parents brought me to the park as a youngster its a perfectly natural part of childhood i don't see the harm in it are you that much of a crank that you let this bother you so much.

Absolute prerequisite. Completely harmless fun and natural for any child to do so.

Well clearly your sister is a bad parent and for the child's safety she should be removed.

My kids act like little bastards in public the odd time. When I pull them aside and tell them off there's always that aul one who looks at me like I'm Hitler. You can't win.

You’ll find that Kid and it’s mother not only have no respect for nature but the kid is probably not being taught any respect for other people either.

Because a small child ran through a flock of feral pigeons in a city? Really?

I love threads like that, anything that involves anything children brings out the Elite of kid haters that get nervous foam around their mouths when they can't let it out how much they hate kids and how amazing their life is without them and in contrast to that the elite parents and in the end they just verbally bash each other and accuse each other of either the deprivation of society or earth.

Y'know as irritating and all as I can imagine it was for you, you're not a pigeon whisperer, and other people too are just as much part of nature as the flying rats you were feeding which are actually considered a pest in urban areas due to the fact they spread disease and cause pollution and property damage -

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_pigeon

It's actually yourself has no respect for nature when you're encouraging vermin infestations which upset the balance of nature in an urban ecosystem.

The OP has just tarred all kids with the same brush because he witnessed a child being a child. Holy crap. Your anecdotal evidence is both illogical and anecdotal
