Young roadrunners hone their hunting skills

Three young roadrunners hone their hunting skills with their mother present. They all came together with their mother at sunset each evening. Their father was dying with a respiratory problem. He passed about a week after this was filmed. Mom was last seen 18 Feb 21. They were both getting pretty old. I knew the parents for a decade. The family of 5 were in my kitchen at the same time.

Bugs bunny meets the road runner

[@hans6304]

Ehh, what's up, doc?

[@protocetid]

Now that I think about it, a hare is closer to Bugs’ proportions. Hares are taller and have a leaner body, not to mention those huge ears.

Wile E. Coyote is sitting back eating 🍿

Actually I just watched a Looney Tunes where bugs bunny was the road runner.

Thank you for sharing the beautiful story of the roadrunners' family and for being their friends for so many years!❤ I had a pigeon visit my window for a number of years - he was at least 13 years old when he stopped coming. Just before he disappeared, he'd met a new girlfriend😉

I came here for the jack rabbit and that was really cute to watch, but still, the story about the road runners it's very endearing and sad but hopeful for the young ones. May they all live long healthy and beautiful lives!

Their tail feathers are so expressive! How wonderful!

Some say that the coyote is still dragging the acme anvil.

Hello, in the opening seen I'm reminded of Texas. Two " speed demon " species socializing.

What do they eat, bugs?

[@emordnilap4747]

Yep, and bigger(but still small) prey, like rodents, and lizards, as well as seeds, and fruit.

@@John2009R Aren't rabbits rodents? I thought they were.

@@emordnilap4747 I was just making a bad and obscure Bugs Bunny reference (about what the Tasmanian devil eats). Anyways, I don't think rabbits are rodents. Close but not quite.
