How can I make my yard wildlife friendly? Hold back from feeding wildlife. We do not suggest attracting wildlife with food into your yard as it can be difficult to only attract certain animals. For example, if you feed birds you may attract squirrels and rats which may attract predators such as bobcats, coyotes and snakes. Animals also don’t recognize the differences between you and your neighbor. If you are attracting predators and your neighbors are afraid of these animals and call animal control for removal, you may be hurting wildlife more than you are helping. Take Action Rookie Changes
