Had a wild turkey attack me while mt biking a few years ago. A guy told me there was one next to Ghost Falls in Corner Canyon that was attacking anyone who got near so on my way back down the trail I decided to see what all the fuss was about. As I stood there about 10 ft from the bushes next to the falls this huge dinosaur-footed beast bird comes out and charges me. I got off my bike and put it between myself and Butterball in a face-off but he/she was having none of it. In an instant it flew up and went for my head. I ducked as I saw the talons coming for my neck and the Pterodactyl bounced off. Then I lifted my bike and stepped toward it in an aggressive fashion but it only made Pterry more angry and it flew up and into my bike. I decided to make a run for it and it attacked again as I got on my bike and pointed down the trail. That thing ran after me for close to 100 yards seething in anger. I pedaled as hard as I could and glanced back whenever I could take my eyes off the technical exposed trail. I thought it would never stop. When I got home I googled images of their feet and realized that I had narrowly escaped death.
