Was caught once riding from Eurobin back to Wang during the attack season, just one after the other easily 30 40 in total.
None of this sneaky out of the sun Japanese dive bombing either. You would see one ahead and it would just suddenly purk up and fly straight at you head on.
Never seen that until we moved to NE Victoria.
Stopping and offering them food doesn't work, they will just pick it up, fly off and then its back at you.
We have had some funny encountered with birds of all kinds. Partner was attacked by a little Butcher bird in Broke NSW, I had a beautiful Sea Eagle drop a half eaten bream on me riding on Ash Island, Newcastle.
Ultimately, They are just trying to protect their young like any mother would.
When Pelicans start attacking I will give up mountain biking.
