Eagle tries to snatch child at birds show in Australia

All spectators were stunned to watch an eagle attempt to grab a child who was with his mother to watch the show.

The boy, fortunately, escaped with ‘superficial’ injuries, according to media reports.

The wedge-tailed eagle reportedly was distracted seeing the young boy playing with his zipper, that instead of flying over to the log it was meant to, it scooped straight down on the lad and attacked him.

The show at the Alice Springs Desert Park quickly came to a close, after the incident.
