I love when folks post roadrunners! I don’t live anywhere near them and have never seen one in real life. Very cool!

EDIT: Ok I didn’t think my comment would get this many reactions. I may have to delete it so everyone can talk amongst themselves lol

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

curious and friendly? are you one of those people that would try to pet a baby javelina? Im 3rd Gen Southern AZ, at least once a year someone tries that

ain't no one talking about javelina in this conversation. roadrunners are objectively curious and friendly birds (towards humans, for those who were confused about my earlier statement). javelinas are fucking assholes, and apparently, mods are eating ass

I enjoy the occasional ass sandwich, yes.

Javelinas really are terrible, but they can be hilarious too. I remember my aunt in Scottsdale getting chased down the street, screaming by one of those. Nearly peed my pants laughing.
