shockingly much like snakes, tarantulas that are well fed are pretty laid back, also bird eating spiders are not venomous afaik. so she is probably pretty safe.
They are venomous, but the venom is comparatively mild. More like a sting. Sites I've read, however, say they tend to be more nervous and skittish.

I don't think those are goliath bird-eaters anyway, the coloration isn't quite right, and the size ratio between the thorax and abdomen isn't what I've seen in pictures of other goliaths... plus goliaths have two tail prongs, these guys just have one. I'm not sure what they are, though, I am not an arachnologist.

A terrible traffic accident has happened this Saturday in Quito. A trailer that was apparently speeding lost its brakes and devastated several light vehicles between the Oyacoto Toll and the Guayllabamba bridge.
