A brahminy kite was spotted watching over an unattended nest of goose eggs in Bukittinggi, Indonesia.

Footage from September 20 shows the bird of prey carefully standing over the eggs.

The mother goose then returns to her nest and wards off the kite before inspecting her eggs.

Nova, the owner of the animals, said the kites always guard the goose eggs when the geese leave.

"I was scratched by a kite when I took a goose egg. He was angry with anyone who approached the goose egg," Nova said.

According to Nova, herds of wild monkeys also often target goose eggs, but the eggs are safe because they are guarded by the birds of prey.

An albatross was filmed guarding goose eggs from intruders.

Footage filmed at the Inyiak treehouse tourist area in Bukittinggi city, West Sumatra province, shows an albatross guarding a flock of goose eggs left by its owner.

The goose that approached to incubate the eggs was blocked by the eagle, but he left after confirming that it was the goose that owned the eggs.

Nova, the owner of the animals, said the eagles always guard the goose eggs when the geese leave the eggs to go eat or bathe.

"I was scratched by an eagle when I took a goose egg. He was angry with anyone who approached the goose egg," Nova said.

According to Nova, herds of wild monkeys also often target goose eggs, but the eggs are safe because they are guarded by eagles.

Footage filmed by Inyiak Ismael, the manager of the tourist spot on Monday, September 20.
