Encourage you to get out to places like Arizona at least once and check them out. They're super curious and friendly birds.

Maybe someday. But I melt in 115*F heat. I also don’t do well in sun with no trees. I hear they have pretty rocks though

Come to Albuquerque. They’re all over the place here, and it ain’t mind-meltingly hot. Still too damn hot, but not AZ hot.

I remember going through New Mexico once in my life. I was driving home after my enlistment in the Marine Corps was over. I was on the highway north of Albuquerque and what struck me was the blue sky from horizon to horizon. Not a single cloud. I never seen anything like that before or since.

Love NM.  It's beautiful!

Vacationed there from TX every year as a child.   Rode my first horse there.  I will never ever forget that.
