Hysterical ! :)...Bought a house in the burbs to get our young daughter away from the riff /raff of city life. A few mornings before work, like 6am, hear these animals yippin away. Look out the window, there were 6 coyote pups and mom playin in the morning in my backyard. I was like " Oh just peachy,just what I needed". Over the next weekend, I got up on my day off and watched their habits for a day. Then on Sunday, when the whole fam was out of the den, I filled it with spray foam. They hung around for a day trying to make sense of this foam stuff,,,, then disappeared into the woods. Haven't seen another one since. That was 2017.
 
I'd say about 100'. Didn't want the mother coyote going after my 5 yr old daughter. I had to do something. They didn't eat the stuff. I just got rid of their house. Maybe the mother knew about an old den someplace else,,, and went there to live. I used about 3 cans of " Big Gap" foam filler. Deep den. The pups were pretty big, it was in August, so they had to be 5 months old already. The house was new construction, so they probably came back year after year,,,prior to the house being built....
 
Another road runner myth is the pile of bird seed. Road runners are meat eaters, especially rattlesnakes and lizards. They also eat young quail, bugs, tarantulas, scorpions and eggs. Oh, and they will eat seeds and berries, including the fruit of the prickly pear cactus. Wiley should try a rubber lizard or snake as a lure.

What doesn’t eat young quail anymore - I don’t need parks and wildlife to tell me they are under pressure …
 
The other myth is they don't fly. They fly just above the vegetation and it always looks like they're barely in control.
My wife and I were in Vegas' outskirts and I pointed out a roadrunner in the desert. My wife has was excited and surprised that a roadrunner is a real bird. She thought it was a mythological creature from cartoons. Then she started with the watch out for falling anvils jokes. She also said she rooted for the coyote to catch the roadrunner.
