Wildlife Feeding: Corona vs Moreno 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.

California Fish and Game Code section 2118 prohibits keeping or feeding wildlife including coyotes, raccoons, and wild predators. Moreno Valley enforces this through Code Compliance and coordinates with CDFW. Feeding attracts predators into residential areas near the Box Springs Mountains and creates public safety risks.
