The unidentified 76-year-old man was cycling along Nicholson Park in Woonona, New South Wales, when a witness saw him careen into a fence post as he tried to avoid the bird, police said.
The man fell off his bike and sustained serious head injuries. He died later after being airlifted to a hospital, police said.
• Was he wearing a helmet? The article didn't say but maybe one would have saved his life.
A variety of defense mechanisms are used across Australia, including sticking cable ties and painting eyes on helmets, the park service says.
• I've gotten buzzed a few times by Starlings in my yard. They always come from behind where I can't see them coming.
