Nah, but I got fricken angry at all the passing drivers waving 'Hello' , because of my arms flailing about.

People don’t wave, we get angry, they wave, we get angry... there is just no pleasing us cyclists!

I was dive bombed by a magpie here 3 days ago. First it hit the top of my helmet ready hard. (No, I don't mean a bird hit my helmet, I mean a magpie catapulted into my cranium.) and almost came off at 35kph. I looked up and the f*cker attacked again. 3 or 4 times. On the way back same thing. Almost hit my face with it's claws on one swerve passed my earhole.

Ok, you don't have to crow on about it....

Same happened to me at Wolwe spruit last weekend , although it was probably like 5m and just gave two hard pedal strokes to get away 

 

Wings flapping and running through the bush making a lot of noise for such A small(relatively) bird
