Marc_21 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Hello hubbers! I know that I will proberbly be mocked by you all as much as my friends have mocked me...I was cycling in the game section of the Nature reserve and as I went onto on of the single trails i decided to try and wear in my front break (which is screaching like anything) on a downhill, as I was getting to the bottom I saw two guinea fowls in the middle of the track so i slowed down not to hit them, when I got to about a meter away, the one opened its wings out and decided to go mad! lol I was so shocked I stopped and thought it would just go past me, but it came straight for my chest and then went down and then again for my side, as soon as that happeded the other one got brave as well and started to open up its wings and make its little noise! At that point I decided to take off, and as i cycled away one of the buggers climbed onto my back! lolI just wanted to share this little story of mine and find out it it has happened to anyone else before!Wow I wish that i had a GoPro Edited May 13, 2016 by Marc_21 Raab, rattlesnake, Bianchi and 6 others 9

CAAD4 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Yes we will mock you.. What actually happens when a guinea fowl decides to mad? How did it make a difference???
Kranswurm Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 cool..... There used to be a hawk or buzzard in the lower sections of Lebanon that had a nest and dive bombed all who dared to pass

Ratty Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Happened to me going down the Dual Slalom. Came around a burm going at speed and had to slam on brakes to avoid the chicks and then the mom started coming for me. Very quickly go going again, luckily it was downhill so got my speed fast. I did however scream like a real girl which was embarassing as there were some people watching. Marc_21 1
RexFuzzle Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Has happened to me too... I was running and she came for my shins, beak first... Then I noticed her chicks on the other side of me... Everybody always laughs at me when I tell the story so I feel your pain man. Marc_21 1
Wet Ears Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 That is truly funny stuff - reminds of that show that used to be on called "When good pets go bad"
MirageF1 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 There was a hawk in Paarl forest who would dive bomb the cyclists and tap you on the head.
Marc_21 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 LOL Thanks for the replies guys! I thought that there must have been chicks near by!
