Australien: Adler greift nach 6-Jährigem

Bei einer populären Tier-Show in Zentral-Australien hat ein Keilschwanzadler, der Teil der Show war, versucht, einen 6-jährigen Jungen zu greifen. Vermutlich hat er diesen für ein Tier gehalten, das er fangen wollte. Der Junge war verständlicher Weise verängstigt. Die Mutter mit ihm.

“The bird then flew over the crowd and tried to grab on to a young boy’s head. He screamed, the mother was distraught and the presenters wrapped up the show very quickly.”
The park issued a statement to the media after being contacted about the event.
“On Wednesday, 6 July, an incident occurred at the Alice Springs Desert Park where an eagle made contact with an audience member,” the park said in a statement.
“A thorough investigation regarding the circumstances behind this incident is under way and the eagle will be removed from the show while this investigation is ongoing.”

Not the sharpest photo but lucky just to snap it. At a nature park in Alice Springs we decided to go to a bird show the young boy in the green kept pulling his zipper up and down. For some reason the Wedge Tailed Eagle did not like it and instead of flying over to the log he is meant to for a photo opportunity he flew straight at the young boy and attacked him. The show was quickly cancelled and the boy taken off to first aid. Those talons are huge he was a very lucky young boy.
