Pico Rivera has no ordinance dedicated to feeding wildlife, but feeding that attracts vermin, creates unsanitary conditions, or draws nuisance animals can be abated under the city's animal nuisance and sanitation provisions.
The Pico Rivera Municipal Code does not contain a stand-alone wildlife-feeding ban. Feeding of wild or stray animals is instead addressed through the general nuisance and sanitation framework in Title 6. The code declares it a nuisance to permit conditions that interfere with a neighbor's comfortable enjoyment of property, and requires premises where animals are kept to be clean and sanitary. Feeding that accumulates food waste, attracts vermin, or draws nuisance wildlife can be cited and abated, and the vector control provisions (Chapter 6.44) address conditions that harbor pests. Residents feeding feral cats or wildlife should avoid attractants or unsanitary buildup; California Fish and Game rules separately prohibit intentional feeding of certain big-game and predatory wildlife statewide.
Feeding wildlife or strays in a way that creates unsanitary conditions, food-waste accumulation, vermin harborage, or a documented nuisance can be abated under Title 6 and the vector control provisions, with code-enforcement citations.
