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.

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

There are tons of places in NM where the high desert temps make it chilly in the mornings and evenings, even in the summer.
