Bellflower, CA Animal Ordinances: Wildlife Feeding (2026)

Based on the fetched sources, Bellflower does not appear to have a specific municipal-code section that flatly prohibits feeding wildlife such as coyotes; we did not find a numbered wildlife-feeding ordinance in the city's animal-control title. The City of Bellflower does publish a Coyote Management Plan through its Animal Control Services, which - consistent with standard coyote-management practice in Los Angeles County cities - discourages both intentional feeding and unintentional food sources such as unsecured trash, pet food left outdoors, fallen fruit, and bird-feeder spillage, because feeding habituates coyotes and increases human-wildlife conflict. Several neighboring Los Angeles-area jurisdictions and the City of Los Angeles (LAMC Section 53.06.5) expressly prohibit feeding non-domesticated mammalian predators including coyotes, foxes, opossums, raccoons, and skunks; residents should not assume Bellflower has an identical ban without confirming the current code. California Fish and Game regulations also restrict feeding of big game and certain wildlife. Until a specific Bellflower section is confirmed, residents should follow the City's Coyote Management Plan and avoid creating attractants, and report aggressive coyotes to the city's animal-services provider.
