Best Answer

Roadrunners are relatively large birds. They mainly eat meat, meaning lizards, mice, other birds, snakes and bugs. They supplement their diet with vegetation. Roadrunners get most of their water from the foods they eat (meaning meat). They can fly short distances low to the ground but much prefer to spend their time on two feet. Roadrunners can reach 17 mph. FYI, as stated in the previous roadrunners do not eat people. Nor do I believe they eat poop.
