I had three yellow rumped thornbills fly straight at me (I was on my bike) and would almost certainly have hit me had I not swerved to miss them. Has anyone any idea why a few thornbills would fly straight at an oncoming cyclist? I thought this behavior was a bit strange, mainly because if I had been a big hungry predator, why fly right at me?

Cheers,
Julian
