Had a rooster that used to do that to my daughter when she was about the same age as the child in your video. It would jump on her back, flop her and claw the heck out of her. One day she came in the house crying and upset as it had flopped her again.
I gave her a big red Fat Albert wiffle ball bat and we went back out together. The rooster came at her and she reluctantly swung at it. Bam, feathers went flying and the bird backed up and shook it’s head and returned for the second time. Again the feathers flew. By now she was comfortable and laughing as she hit a home run sending the rooster flying. Soon she was chasing it, swinging the bat and uncontrollably laughing. After that he never bothered her again and stayed clear every time she walked through the run area.
I often look back at that as the turning point in my daughter’s self confidence in all aspects of life. She became the catcher on the high school baseball team, lived in Manhattan(Upper East Side) by herself for a few years, and is one heck of a leader in a multinational corporation. Amazing how one event as a child can change the temperament of a person for life.
That was a really great story... I can picture the scene in my head perfectly.
