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.

How dare you assume the child's gender!

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 .

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.

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?

LirW · 15-04-2018 09:05PM

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.
My favourite.

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 -

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.

Its what kids do seriously its not like they have mugged someone is it.

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

John_Rambo · 15-04-2018 09:13PM

So I was feeding fourteen feral rats in Smithfield. I gained their trust...

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?

It's quite hazardous to feed Northside Dublin pigeons bread and the like as their digestive systems are attuned to a staple diet of syringes, chewing gum and used condoms so the kid did you a favour.

Oh noooo, a young child scared your little birdies away while you were having a romantic moment with them. How will you ever recover from this life threatening moment??

Get a ****in grip man, especially if you think they are scum and what other names you proceeded to call them for what was an innocent action.

Here's a tip for you, get out of the city to somewhere remote and have your moment with the birds, no interruptions etc.

I see morons in the park (which is next to the River Barrow) here all the time climbing over railings to let their kids pester the swans. Then the idiot kids start screaming for absolutely nothing and the mother or father tells them the swans will eat them instead of telling them that if they'd shut up screaming and frightening the swans and calm the fuck down they wouldn't go near them.

Then there's the little fuckers that throw bread at the swans then discard the plastic wrapper on the ground. Somehow I think the swans would be better of without mouldy bread and not having the river polluted with plastic.

And that's just normal average families. The real scumbags love nothing more than spitting at the swans or throwing rocks at them.

Well, that's a whole different story than chasing feral pigeons in Dublin city. The Barrow is one of the most stunning rivers in the country. I've canoed it a good few times before it was properly navigable. Where are you based?

(and your local kids aren't idiots, they're just kids, your local parents are idiots)

my child would never do this.
I always say to him that if he chases the pigeons, they would probably turn around and punch the head off him:pac:
those inner city pigeons are tough lil feckers
