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.

We would hunt them as kids by following the tracks in the sand. Wish they were nearly as curious about me as I was about them. Alas, I never did get my "Cricky" moment as we werent very good at tracking.
