I've read horrible stories and seen part of some awful video of those gorgeously beautiful, powerful winged carnivores catching small four-legged animals to taking down adult wolves, striking a bear, kangaroo, deer, etc., often with help from a second Eagle. Too awful to watch most of it. Just as bad, it could have dropped her from 30+ up, swoop down, reclaim and carry her off!
Now that it knows she's there, it could return and this time do its worst unless you are right there over her and have a way to fight it off. Even then, it could attack you out of its desperation for food to move you away from her or down to the ground. If it hits your head, knocks you down or you lose your balance trying to fight it off, she's prey. Be very careful from now and plan how to scare off, defeat one of these attacking birds in the future. |
Thank you for your concern. The weird think is, Teanna keeps an eye on us, has since we first brought Katy home. If Teanna tires of walking with us, my Katy LOVES to sniff EACH blade of grass, Teanna will sit down and watch us. I love this. I know Teanna has my back, and now Katy's.
Katy weighs 5 pounds. I walk her on a 4' leash, BECAUSE I am very very very careful. We have all KIDS of Wildlife and I have 'lived out' for most of my life.
