Woman In Her Underwear Chases Eagle Away From Goose While Breastfeeding

If that headline wasn’t enough to reel you in, perhaps a video of the incident will. Sometimes nuts things happen – so nuts that you literally have to see them and believe them. This certainly qualifies. After all, when have you ever seen a topless woman chase off an eagle that’s attacking a goose? Probably never.

  1. This went down in Canada. The woman in the video, Cait Oakley, was nursing her baby inside the house she shares with husband Mike and their three children on Vancouver Island when she noticed an eagle swoop down from the sky and try to carry away her pet goose, Franky. Not today, bird!
  2. The woman knew she had to act. It wasn’t long before she ran out the door to the animal’s aid. However, she wasn’t particularly prepared – she was still topless! Sometimes you have to just act rather than think.
  3. Thankfully, Franky the goose was just fine. The eagle did fly away in the end and the goose lived to see another day. All’s well that ends well, and now Franky’s owner is a hero!
  4. Sadly, this isn’t the first time the eagle has struck. As the caption for the video reveals, the pair had lost three chickens in the past week before Franky was nearly stolen. However, the little guy is “A-OK” now.

We have lost 3 chickens in the last week from what I was told was eagles which I believed hawks were preying on them but watch Frankie (our female goose) get taken. Mama bear mid breast feeding protecting her sweet Frankie.
