Friendly Roadrunner

[@lynnvanlandschoot6735]

I've fed two road runners for five years. They finally don't come back anymore. Probably died or killed. Friends were always amazed to see them come on my porch and wait for me to come out. Thanks for posting video.

If a rattlesnake shows up, hes got yer back

[@KillaninjaFC]

What about a sneaky, rascally, whiley coyote?

[@greatBLT]

@@KillaninjaFC good chance they will get eaten :((((

[@Laudon1228]

@@greatBLTYes, so few roadrunners have a talent for painting tunnels on cliff sides. 😁

[@sidensvans67]

Roadrunners are fabulous creatures .

[@jimwednt1229]

The Roadrunner is my favorite ground bird . They're so smart ,agile ,cute as can be ,friendly and beneficial to the environment! I love these birds ! I love how that one Roadrunner walked up to the man and wiped his beak on the sole of his shoe 😆🤣 that was adorable 😍

[@lillieknight]

So sweet. I didn’t know they could be friendly like that.

[@RobertBardos]

Cool part is it’s showing it’s baby you’re not a threat. Awesome natural goodness. Thanks for sharing made my morning :D

Nah, turkeys are closer in size to velociraptors than these guys. These guys would be closer to compognathuses than velociraptors.

[@katboi7140]

​@@englishatheartwell, that's true, but life style and movements of roadrunner looks more like velociraptor than turkey

[@frankwestphal8532]

They're so cool! My daughter and I were camping in Laughlin NV, and we went swimming the Colorado river. We got out and were walking down the beach and noticed a roadrunner was fallowing us. We kept waling to verify, and it was 100% following us for like 500 yards. So I layed down on the beach and said "let's just see what happens". The roadrunner walked right up on top of my chest and stood their looking at me for a couple seconds, then walked away. I also saved a little swallow that had fallen into the river and become hypothermic, but that's another story. The point is, birds are SOOO cool!

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

Wow! You are a genuine Disney Princess resting in the desert.

[@mikes7639]

That’s fun loving the trust such a confident and well equipped bird

[@georgemallory797]

They sure are cute.

[@RobertBohnen]

I love roadrunners! They are very smart and very beautiful birds. Official bird of Palm Springs. I don't see a lot of them here in this part of Arizona. Plenty of quail. Just not a lot of roadrunners.

[@ThePARANOIDMarine]

You’ve been blessed ❤

I Think RoadRunners are My Favorite Birds, They Pretty Agile and Awesome!!

[@Valhalla_Heathen]

A truly spectacular moment!!! 😍

[@mwbright]

I have three of them I feed. When I walk in the desert, after a few minutes I always have at least one keeping pace with me, just a few feet away. They're so incredibly quiet when they're not talking, I have no idea they're there until I see them. I just wish I could get them to hop around all over me like you seem to, but hopefully I'll make it happen. They're like tiny dinosaurs, and so cute when they're tearing up the desert, well, what a privilege to have them a part of my daily routine. Now if I could only train the God knows how many Mojave Green and California Speckled Rattlesnakes I've got living under the house. That sure would be a neat trick.

[@jeremygalloway1348]

Jessica, what are you feeding it? A roadrunner has been living around my work the last 18months or so. Hadn't seen him in a while as he was up around the entrance to the property...but now he's moved closer to the actual site. I've seen him the last few days in a row. He's coming closer and closer to me when I'm taking a break out in my car. Wanting to try and throw him out some food, but reading they only eat prickly pear apples and cacti...and only when insects/reptiles/rodents are scarce(plenty of all that out here lol). I don't expect to hand feed him like in your video...just enjoy watching him and wanting to get closer. Each time I pull up and park and wait a few minutes he will hop out of the fallen tree I think he's made a nest in...and will look at ne. Then will run around catching stuff. But always comes closer and closer to my car. Yesterday 20ft.today 15. I have car running and loud exhaust. Rolled my window down and smooch smooched and he was just watching me. He doesn't need any help with food...but it'd be cool to offer some help. I know it's illegal to possess or harass native birds(migratory bird treaty act 1918 I believe). But I'm not intending to do either of those..just intending to toss some food out and if he wants to be buds I'm down. Animals are badass...especially these lil dudes lol. Male or female I can't tell...whatever it is it's awesome to watch!

[@rosebelle3148]

Hey there, friend. 😀I don’t know you and you don’t know me, but I just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed reading this comment you left a while back… I’m sure you’ve perhaps moved onto bigger and better things. For some reason, I was compelled to write this note to you. I’m not really a big commenter in general. Anyway- I just wanted to reach through the internet and say hello, friend. Ican tell you’re a good guy with a solid soul. Hope your personal roadrunner hombre become a bit more friendly with you! maybe not down to hang out and watch a movie but, ya know.🙃 but at least you’re blessed to be out there enjoying the wonders of this world, especially at work 🤠! What a treat, man!! Be well, friend. - Ann… here in N.Virginia… in June I’ll be making g a big move to our family farm in Iowa. But I am above everything a proud native Texan. The Lone Star State lies very deep down in my heart. I greatly miss the southwest. My plan(but you know how life is) is be back in my lone Star state there soon. One day I just turned 42 so I guess I got a little time! .

You don't understand! You have to make small stacks of ACME BIRD SEED to catch em'

[@ian.swift.31614]

why does he keep rubbing his face on stuff? i thought he was just feeling different surfaces with his beak but then towards the end he rubs his whole cheek on that rolled up carpet. like a cat leaving scent? is that's what's going on here, he's leaving his scent glandage on something so he can come back in the future (and did he come back ?) ?

[@controllerplayer1720]

possibly wiping it to clean its beak..

Yes, that’s beak cleaning.

This is cute, but getting them where they are not afraid of people can be bad! Not all people are nice people!

[@jimwednt1229]

Hopefully in his community everyone is good to the wildlife . I see a lot of wildlife, baby and adult coyotes, birds and rabits just wandering the golf course getting close (within 10 feet) to people ,not afraid at all . Everyone I saw respected the animals and were nice to them. But yeah I do have that same concern as you, that there are those sick people who abuse animals and will harm "people friendly " trusting animals .

[@donaldsmith3048]

@@jimwednt1229 I live in a city that has a lot of what could be called overgrown or not well kept. I have trouble with raccoons, and possums. Getting into things. But I found out that the county animals. Live trap and take them out to places where they can live happy. Unless they see that they may be sick. But mine are health because they are getting into the feed I have for my pets. The smart ass things learned how to unscrew the top on the food! I didn't care about them until they started opening the food and dumping it out! I ended up bringing it in the house and just take out the food enough for my pets as I feed them.

[@jimwednt1229]

@@donaldsmith3048 , Raccoons are little devils lol yes they will open trash bins and doors and things and chew open whatever they can't easily open 😅🤣 They are clever and relentless and quite dangerous if they decide to attack people and or animals. They have big gnarly teeth 😬

[@Ragetiger1]

That's the thing with roadrunners, they recognize faces. They will only trust ones they know they can trust.

[@WafflesssFalling]

@@Ragetiger1 That’s good! I was wondering if that was the case for them. Crows are the same- they’ll only trust people who are kind & respectful to them (and with actively avoid/ bully non-trustworthy & rude people lol)

maybe. Im sure they're from Acme.

[@XavierAway]

Although the music is somewhat fitting and doesn’t completely drown out the original audio at least, it is still unnecessary and doesn’t improve the video, it drowns out the background noise and so we lose the crucial sense of atmosphere as a result. My advice is no music for short, simple and wholesome animal videos like this.
