      They do actually make a beep beep sound. I was surprised when I first saw a roadrunner and heard this. And they do run along the road. The cartoons were pretty accurate.

    The sound it makes with its beaks sounds like those pop pop snappers kids play during lunar new year

      I think it also sounds a bit like those round oval 2 magnets which you can let snap together

      It does! My brother collected those for a whole year so he could get even with the mean mail lady at our next stay at grandparents house (the mail lady drove up onto the curb just to run over his skateboard). Anyway, he had all of the bags of them in his duffle bag on the floor by the bed we both shared over there. That night at 3AM i got up to pee, tripped, and landed on his bag full of pop-its (probably fifty bags)! It was so loud and no matter how i rolled, i couldn't get up without popping a whole new barrage of them. Finally, there was silence, and then, out of the pitch black ether came my brothers hysterical laughter. I thought for sure he was going to yell at me, but we laughed for the next hour. The conversation with our grandparents at breakfast was interesting 😂

      I think the amount of time they spend around humans and cars and everything else has made them pretty hard to frighten with just a snappy beak, especially when they have a feast in front of them.

      protein is protein! actually, there are very very few true obligate herbivores. rabbits will scavenge carcasses. deer and horses and cows eat eggs and pluck baby birds right out of the nest to eat. its a nice little energy boost full of lots of good stuff!
