The roadrunner's nest of sticks lined with feathers, snakeskin, and other materials is well camouflaged among cacti, bushes, or low trees. The female roadrunner generally lays three to six eggs. Both parents incubate the eggs. It feeds mainly on lizards, snakes, large insects, small birds, and small mammals such as mice. It sometimes stuns larger prey by beating the animal against a rock. Roadrunners also eat plants, especially when animals become scarce in winter. It is known for its ability to overpower and swallow a rattlesnake. It picks up the snake in its mouth and flings it in the air. When the snake drops, the roadrunner grasps and bites it in the back of the head and then batters the snake against a rock. Beginning with the head, the bird then swallows the snake.
