Breastfeeding Mom Fights Off Eagle Attacking Her Pet Goose!

A woman in British Columbia fought off a bald eagle to save her pet goose, all while still breastfeeding her baby!

The woman 29 year-old Cait Oakley, told local reporters that she heard her pet goose, Frankie, squawking at the front of the house. Oakley could tell there was something wrong, so she peered outside and saw that an eagle was circling her beloved pet. She rushed outside half-naked, with her baby, Willow still at her breast, and the drama heightened as the bird of prey grabbed Frankie, who furiously flapped her wings to try to break free!

“I went to the front door with Willow latched on me, just thinking, ‘I’ll take a peek out the window’ and that’s when in that split second the eagle came down and it was at my front door. So I threw the door open. There was nowhere to put Willow down at that point,” Oakley, 29, of North Saanich, British Columbia, told TODAY. “It was just a split-second reaction. I chased off (birds of) prey many, many times — usually not with a baby.”

Wearing only her underwear and clutching a feeding 4-month-old baby, the valiant mom chased after the eagle to save her goose. It worked — the eagle dropped Frankie. Her doorbell camera caught the entire bizarre animal encounter, which her husband shared on social media. 

It soon went viral. Even though loads of people have seen the mom of three — Willow, now 5 months old, Rome, 2, and Ryder, 8 — topless and in her underwear, she’s not embarrassed. She was simply feeding her child and taking care of her beloved pet.

“I could have been naked, and I’m like, ‘Whatever, I’m feeding my baby,'” she said. “That was a part of life.”

“I don’t even really think about it,” Oakley said. “It feels like an accomplishment, I suppose, but for me, this was a day in the life.”

Oakley and her family live on an acre of land and keep chickens, ducks, and geese. The chickens attract “an abundance of predators,” so she has had to fight off different animals trying to take them. The week of the eagle attack on video, the family lost three chickens to some sort of bird of prey. They’ve had Frankie for about a year; geese often protect flocks of chickens because they can be aggressive. But Frankie is “calm” and enjoys her human companions.

Oakley’s story was also shared on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” in a segment aptly named “The Kind Of Story We Need Right Now.”
