On May 16, Cait Oakley realized something was wrong as she was breastfeeding her infant daughter when she heard her goose Frankie screaming.
“As soon as I opened the door, the eagle just swooped down right then,” she added of the bird’s attack on Frankie. “That was the only thing in my head, just like, ‘Drop it!'”
“It’s just that fight-or-flight response,” she toldCBC Newsand added, “This is mom life.”
The family’s home security camera captured the incident, so Lazicposted the video on TikTokwith his wife’s permission, and the clip now has over 20 million views.
Oakley told CBC News that Frankie is “like my fourth child.”
“She follows me around the yard … she’ll nip at our clothes for a treat. She’s just such a large presence,” she added.
Oakley also shared that the pet goose is doing well following the attack.
“She’s totally fine — super sassy, as always,” she told the outlet.
Frankie is now back to wandering the yard, but the couple now has pens for all their animals.
