ROAD RUNNER SERIES
The roadrunner makes a series of 6 to 8, low, dovelike coos dropping in pitch, as well as a clattering sound by rolling mandibles together. But it cannot keep its large body airborne for more than a few seconds, and so prefers walking or running (up to 17 miles per hour) usually with a clownish gait. When the roadrunner senses danger or is traveling downhill, it flies, revealing short, rounded wings with a white crescent.
It is a member of the Cuckoo family (Cuculidae), characterized by feet with 2 forward toes and 2 behind. It ranges in length from 20 to 24 inches from the tip of its tail to the end of its beak. It has strong feet, a long, white-tipped tail and an oversized bill. The roadrunner is a large, black-and-white, mottled ground bird with a distinctive head crest. The legendary roadrunner bird is famous for its distinctive appearance, its ability to eat rattlesnakes and its preference for scooting across the American deserts, as popularized in Warner Bros.
