Short video clip shot on our front patio covered in sad, flagstones, & desert plants. A mama roadrunner picks up black soldier fly grubs & feeds them to her fledgling, who flaps his wings & opens his mouth to eat.

   A mama roadrunner, Meep, used to live in our big metal dino's mouth, & she & her baby daddy, Dart, raised more than one bebe there. We used to put out fresh water & black soldier fly grubs for them every morning, & Meep came to trust us to the point that she'd bring her fledglings to the patio & feed them. Sadly, they've all moved on, but I was lucky enough to get a video of her feeding one of her little ones. Here's a clip! #birds #roadrunners #BirdsOfMastodon #SoCal #desert
