elonging to the cuckoo family, the roadrunner easily lives up to its family reputation. This aggressive, energetic, western bird spends much of his time scurrying across prairie and desert in search of unusual delicacies.
ell known for its skirmishes with poisonous snakes, the roadrunner lacks little in speed and courage. Pretending to attack, he entices the snake to strike, thus rendering the snake off-balance and vulnerable. In "Prairie Cuckoo" the roadrunner is seen perched, but for a moment, before it sprints off on another adventure.
