Very good birds to have around, they love bugs and will alert you to anything coming into their "territory" trouble is, that is anything and EVERYTHING sometimes. I had a couple and the hen was taken by a hawk, for over a year the rooster lived on or around the carport so he could see his reflection my car bumper. He finally ventured out 1 day,only to meet the same fate as his hen. I miss having them around.
If you can't help em, don't hinder em'

Road runners will hang around cars and interact with their reflections in glass, paint or chrome. Smashed bugs are probably also attractive to them. They hate snakes, and have been known to kill rattlesnakes.

When I lived in Massachusetts there was a Robin who repeatedly would attack that "other" Robin that he could see in the rear view mirror of my Oldsmobile station wagon.

They tend to judge brass cars as purists would, but often mistake grease cups for zerks
. Don't expect too much. No harm, no fowl.

When did I do that?

They look identical but I’ll bet the neighbor has names for each one. LOL! Jim Patrick
