The greater roadrunner is the biggest cuckoo bird running around in the American Southwest. There are plenty of these birds in Southern California and they are relatively brave in front of humans. I have seen these predators run around on roads and hop on backyard fences; one time while I was in Riverside I even saw one in a backyard eating a sparrow. They can run up to 32 kilometers per hour, more than the 24 kph I credit them with in the narration, and jump to catch flying prey. Coyotes can run to up 69 kph, and roadrunner bones have been found in their feces, so in this case life does not imitate art. It is true that coyotes are less maneuverable and cannot fly or fit into small spaces that roadrunners might be able to go into, but coyotes are much faster, can hunt in packs, and can match the jumping ability of the roadrunner.
True to their cuckoo form, the first to hatch within a clutch of 3-6 greater roadrunner eggs have a first-mover advantage and will hog up all the food and cause the younger siblings to starve if there is not enough food; sometimes the younger siblings will be fed directly to the older ones to ensure the survival of the older chicks.
SCIENCE!

This is Nedley. He is a greater roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) filmed at the roadside store at Cool Springs, AZ along old Route 66 between Oatman and Kingman.
I was taking a panorama of the store and noticed a bird making a clattering sound by one of the buildings. I took a closer look and saw it was a roadrunner. I got my camera to take a video and when I tried to slowly approach the bird it suddenly ran toward me. It was hard to video because it kept approaching so close. As I was filming, another roadrunner that I hadn't noticed on a window ledge, jumped off and joined Nedley. I followed them to the back of the store and videoed them both.
The store owner took two years of coaxing to get Nedley to take food from his hand, but he is still a wild bird and won't get too friendly.

Known by many names, the Greater Roadrunner, is an unmistakable bird. Often a bird first recognized and remembered by its many habits, including the method used to kill its prey. The main method is the killing of its prey by brute force, i.e. the beating of the prey upon a nearby object crushing the preys body. It ranges through out the southwest extending into Northern California and into Louisiana. The Greater Roadrunner is not to be confused with the Lesser Roadrunner, these two differ in distribution, the lesser being found in Mexico. This member of the cuckoo family, being a opportunistic hunter, hunts a variety of prey in a variety of ways. Feasting on insects to vertebrates such as snakes (both venomous and non venomous) to cases of capture of birds at bird feeders, such as Purple Martins chicks. The Greater Roadrunner was witness gaining access to these chicks by flight from a nearby tree. Cases have been reported of low flying birds knocked down and fed upon by leaping a roadrunner hiding in scrubs.This ground cuckoo does not seem affected by venom in snakes, often hunting large venomous snakes in a group pair. Swallows large prey head first, while throwing its head back furthering the prey down its throat. Research has shown Horned lizards being eaten back side up to protect internal organs. Food selection for the Greater Roadrunner largely depends on the season.

Kingman Arizona 1.29.2012. It's been a cold and long winter here in Arizona and many smaller animals and insects haven't come out as yet. Many of the birds are desperate for hand outs as you see even this Greater Roadrunner competes with pigeons, black birds and sparrows for handouts at a local Wendy's Restaurant here in Kingman AZ. Here you see it eating bread that we're tossing to it and other birds. Most people think of The Roadrunner from the looney tunes cartoon with Wile E. Coyote. Anyway, they don't go 'Beep Beep', but now you know they might like eating out at a restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. Road runner birds are fast runners and fast eaters. Scientific name Geococcyx californianus.
These Roadrunners aren't often seen, as I've been here for nine years now and only seen maybe 5 or 6 of them running about ever. I was bit shocked to see one today so bold as to be asking for handouts along with pigeons in a parking lot of a fast food joint. They normally eat reptiles such as lizards and rattlesnakes, mice, and other creatures.

Greater roadrunner
The greater roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) is a long-legged bird in the cuckoo family, Cuculidae, from Southwestern United States and Mexico. The Latin name means "Californian earth-cuckoo". Along with the lesser roadrunner, it is one of two species in the roadrunner genus Geococcyx. This roadrunner is also known as the chaparral cock, ground cuckoo, and snake killer.
Description
The roadrunner is about 52–62 cm (20–24 in) long, has a 43–61 cm (17–24 in) wingspan and weighs 221–538 g (7.8–19.0 oz). It stands around 25–30 cm (9.8–11.8 in) tall and is the largest cuckoo of the Americas. Roadrunners have 4 toes on each zygodactyl foot; two face forward, and two face backward. The toes are brown in color and have pale gold spots. The upper body is mostly brown with black streaks and sometimes pink spots. The neck and upper breast are white or pale brown with dark brown streaks, and the belly is white. A crest of brown feathers sticks up on the head, and a bare patch of orange and blue skin lies behind each eye; the blue is replaced by white in adult males (except the blue adjacent to the eye), and the orange (to the rear) is often hidden by feathers.

This is Nedley. He is a greater roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) filmed at the roadside store at Cool Springs, AZ along old Route 66 between Oatman and Kingman.
I was taking a panorama of the store and noticed a bird making a clattering sound by one of the buildings. I took a closer look and saw it was a roadrunner. I got my camera to take a video and when I tried to slowly approach the bird it suddenly ran toward me. It was hard to video because it kept approaching so close. As I was filming, another roadrunner that I hadn't noticed on a window ledge, jumped off and joined Nedley. I followed them to the back of the store and videoed them both.
The store owner took two years of coaxing to get Nedley to take food from his hand, but he is still a wild bird and won't get too friendly.

Anyway, they don't go 'Beep Beep', but now you know they might like eating out at a restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. Road runner birds are fast runners and fast eaters. Scientific name Geococcyx californianus.
These Roadrunners aren't often seen, as I've been here for nine years now and only seen maybe 5 or 6 of them running about ever. I was bit shocked to see one today so bold as to be asking for handouts along with pigeons in a parking lot of a fast food joint. They normally eat reptiles such as lizards and rattlesnakes, mice, and other creatures.
wn.com/Greater Roadrunner Bird Running In For Fast Food
Kingman Arizona 1.29.2012. It's been a cold and long winter here in Arizona and many smaller animals and insects haven't come out as yet. Many of the birds are desperate for hand outs as you see even this Greater Roadrunner competes with pigeons, black birds and sparrows for handouts at a local Wendy's Restaurant here in Kingman AZ. Here you see it eating bread that we're tossing to it and other birds. Most people think of The Roadrunner from the looney tunes cartoon with Wile E. Coyote. Anyway, they don't go 'Beep Beep', but now you know they might like eating out at a restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. Road runner birds are fast runners and fast eaters. Scientific name Geococcyx californianus.
