Orland Park prohibits feeding deer, geese, raccoons, and other wildlife that creates nuisance, attracts pests, or poses safety risks. Bird feeding is generally allowed if it does not attract rodents or create nuisance.
Orland Park's nuisance and animal control ordinances prohibit intentional feeding of wildlife that causes nuisance, property damage, or public health concerns. This includes deer (which damage landscaping and pose vehicle collision risks), Canada geese (which are abundant due to nearby ponds and create sanitation issues), raccoons, opossums, coyotes, and feral cats. Bird feeding using standard bird feeders is generally allowed for songbirds but must not result in spilled seed accumulating on the ground (which attracts rodents) or feed becoming a public nuisance. Cook County also addresses wildlife feeding in some park areas. Illinois Department of Natural Resources may be involved for protected species. Contact Orland Park Code Enforcement at (708) 403-6225.
Wildlife feeding violations typically result in warnings followed by fines of $50 to $500. Repeat offenders face escalating fines and may be required to remove all feeders and food sources.
