had a close one before when I lived in durbs. not sure if was a crowned eagle or what, but one dropped down onto my basset when she was a puppy but luckily, my sha pei was right inside the door and just charged it. don't know what was more scared, the basset or the bird. bird try to fly up and backwards and flipped over and then it was just feathers every where. bird got away, but never saw it again. funniest **** to ever watch.
