An unknown small bird made a sudden dive bomb on a Crested Serpent Eagle and the reaction of the eagle are hilarious. It is obvious she is in shock. This happens in a morning somewhere in Sibu, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. I am lucky enough to be on the location and filming her. Hope you will...- dixonlau
