How do you stop red winged blackbirds from attacking your head?

Question

I was attacked twice last year by red winged blackbirds along public trails; once when walking, and the other when bicycle riding. Yelling and waving my arms wildly helped, but doing so is dangerous when riding your bicycle, and of course I'm hoping there's a better way :-) I'm hoping someone can suggest something wearable, like a particular color hat or something. Thanks.

Answer 1

A pellet gun should do the trick.

Answer 2

Wear a cap
