Aurora Animal Services runs a coyote coexistence program emphasizing hazing techniques, secured trash, and feeding bans, coordinating with Colorado Parks and Wildlife on persistent aggressive coyote incidents in suburban neighborhoods near open space.
Aurora's location adjacent to extensive open space and the Cherry Creek corridor brings frequent coyote sightings. The city follows a tiered response: education and hazing for normal sightings, targeted removal by Colorado Parks and Wildlife for confirmed aggressive or human-habituated animals. Residents are prohibited from intentionally feeding coyotes under Chapter 14 wildlife feeding rules. Aurora Animal Services trains residents in hazing techniques such as yelling, waving arms, and using noise devices. Pet owners near open space should leash dogs and supervise small pets. Removal is reserved for animals showing food-conditioned aggression, not routine sightings.
Intentional feeding of coyotes violates Chapter 14 wildlife feeding rules and triggers fines; harassing wildlife illegally can violate state CPW regulations under CRS Title 33.
