The greater roadrunner is the state bird of New Mexico. Ancient Native American and Mexican peoples also honored roadrunners and considered the birds to be good luck as well as symbols of strength, courage, speed, and endurance. Roadrunner feathers have been used to ward off evil, and it has been believed that a roadrunner's tracks can lead someone who is lost back to a trail.
