Roadrunners have quite the personality on them, Robert and Nada tell me. They get attached to humans.
Nada likes to keep a metal tub filled with water out in the yard for all the critters that pass through. She keeps a garden hose in the tub, so it is handy when the tub needs refilling. When the hose slipped out of the tub during a storm, one of "their" roadrunners pecked at the bathroom window until Nada came out of the house and put it in its usual spot.
One day Robert had to work on his truck out in the yard, and a roadrunner stood on the edge of the engine watching him and talking to him the entire time.
Paul and Sheila tell me a roadrunner likes to call and prance and put on a show off for them whenever they visit their ranch.
Oh yes, and they kill rattlesnakes! They are said to pick up a snake by its tail, and kill it by slamming the head against the ground!
