Roadrunner eating a mouse right out of my hand..

[mgkbull2]

I live in Albuquerque and a young "teenage" roadrunner just came up to me while working as a Security Guard. He stood there two feet away from me and just looked at me expectantly. I told him I was sorry and didn't have any live insects or other delectables. He ran away about 15 minutes later when he realized he wasn't getting anything. Oh well.

That would have been bad if it bit your hand!

Wow. Tucson, you are one lucky guy.

Please tell me, how did you first meet this guy? And how did you develop a good enough relationship to get this far? I must confess, I'd love to try developing a good friendship with a bird such as this.

Sweet!

0.0 Look how much ground it covered despite its sheer size.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

isnt it weird alot of animals understand when a human is presenting food to them? cause it NEVER happens in the wild. but theres alot of animals who are really flighty which will come up literally and eat out of your hands.

i'm doing a report on a roadrunner and this was not help full

[Tucson85743]

Just make sure in the report you spell it "helpful" instead of "help full" the latter only making sense if you could fit no more into something and therefor needed help.

That is the lamest lie I ahve ever heard in my life. LIe Incredibly lame.

[mackhine]

Cool! Those are fascinating birds.

[catluvspeaches]

I just saw a video of a roadrunner on here, totally slamming the crap out of a frog on the ground. I guess he was tenderizing it before he ate it. LMFAO!!

skittish aren't they?

I just discovered these birds by way of a coworker who came back from uh...somewhere from a holiday with pictures of them, so I had to come on here and check them out.

SO COOL!!

[diego10008000]

cool man i love those birds and this is one of the best videos of them i've seen here in youtube

[Skullbonescotty]

That's great man, looks like you have a new friend. Did he pick you very hard with his beak on your hand?

[Tucson85743]

He freaked me out a little but I don't even know why, I could feel his beak for sure but it was like somebody pecking something from your hand with a pez-dispenser...
