plantmanager said:I love your roadrunner, James. How nice that he came around to keep you company and wasn't afraid.

I once found a roadrunner that had been shot in one wing and one foot. It had healed badly and he couldn't fly at all and had to hop around on one foot. I read up on making him food. I'd make little meatballs with ground beef, oatmeal, and lots of vitamins and minerals. When he'd come around I'd toss him a meatball and he'd gobble it up. He soon learned to come when I'd call. After we moved away, our neighbor took care of him for many years until one day he didn't come to eat. :sad ..........


I love that story, Karen, and I appreciate your tender-hearted consideration for our desert animals. Thumbs up

James
