Wildlife Feeding: Corona vs Mead Valley

Feeding wildlife in Corona — including coyotes, deer, raccoons, and other native species — is discouraged and may be prohibited under state law (California Fish and Game Code) and local nuisance provisions. Intentionally feeding predators creates public safety hazards and can result in citations. Bird feeding is generally allowed if not creating nuisance conditions.

Riverside County Ordinance 630 and California Fish & Game Code §251.3 prohibit intentionally feeding big-game mammals (bears, deer, coyotes, mountain lions). Feeding wildlife creates dangerous habituation and triggers public-safety responses. Bird feeders are generally allowed but can be cited if they attract rodents, bears, or create a nuisance.
