Children not being taught respect for nature

Ahhhh for forks sake! · 15-04-2018 07:50PM #1

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.

Are you that nut that feeds them on D'olier street????

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! · 15-04-2018 07:59PM

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?

An oldie but pure gold from the late great Dermot Morgan

Why do northside Dubliners keep pigeons? To teach their children how to walk.
Skip to 2 minutes in.

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

Memo from Richard Bruton to all schools:

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!
