Indian miners vs Our Generation?

Anyway, last week i went to a family friend house party kinda thing, and the guy was talking about his observations of life namely the birds living outside his new house.
He said he was painting the house each day and fixing stuff etc and he always notice the indian miners - the grey ones..
So here's the story:
There were 3 indian miners, as he was observing he noticed that 2 of them were babies and the 3rd was the mother.
each day the babies would follow the mother everywhere while opening their mouths and "ahh"-ing for food.
The guy[uncle] said that he always puts a piece of bread there so they will come.
anyway most of the time the mother would give it to the babies, but sometimes she would just eat it herself hehe..
Days pass and the babies start to be left alone more and more, they are hungry and so whenever the mother isn't there they will try to peck at the food, but they actually don't know how to peck properly to be able to get a piece of the food, their beaks aren't that strong. So they somehow learn that u have to tear it away from the piece of bread.
Anyway every so often the mother returns. Whenever she's there the babies immediately become lazy and open their mouths, even though they know how to get food themselves, they've discovered that opening their mouths is much more easier and comfy :P
He some how linked this story to the fact that children these days are pretty much provided everything.
They become dependent on their parents and some children receive so much allowance that it might be even more than what they earn. So therefore, he said, the next generation will find it much harder to accept the fact that living and trying to earn living is going to be tough. His generation started off with not much, always needing to go around looking at neighbour's picture boxes since they have none etc. And so he thinks that their generation is actually becoming happier and happier since what they sow, they reap; and they get rewarded for their hard work easier.
But for us, there will be so much more competition, so much harder for us to grasp the fact that we might not earn as much as our parents can give us. He suggests that perhaps this may be the reason that there are so many problems with children and teens and the new generation these days, like maybe the employment rates, the behaviours of the generation, etc

Anyway back to the bird story [I haven't finished yet]
As you might know, the indian miners are not the only ones who are there sharing the garden. There are other birds; one such are the lorakeets. The lorakeets[not sure if it's the right spelling] are much bigger than that of the indian miners.
The babies, well they don't know much about the real world, and so they often try to eat the food with them, or open their mouths and ahh at them.
At first the lorakeets don't seem to care, since the miner baby is so much smaller etc.. but, he says, maybe the miners are by nature intimidating creatures, they like to lure/poke/irritate others....
So one day, one of the miner babies was trying to compete with the food. The lorakeet suddenly struck out it's claw and pinned the baby down. It flipped over on to it's back.
Now maybe the mother miner was nearby, 2m radius maybe.
Within about 5 seconds the mother came flying in and rapidly pecked at the lorakeet until it let go.
Later, a whole flock [maybe 3-4] of indian miners came flying in and attacked the lorakeet...
How interesting... "this shows how great/brave(wai dai) the mother is" - he says
