Wildlife and wildlife encounters on campus

Posting Date(s)

There have been several incidents on campus where crows have been very aggressive with people, particularly those carrying food. Facilities Management has taken a number of steps to deter the crows, including the installation of owl decoys across campus; however, we ask members of the campus community to refrain from feeding birds and other wildlife such as foxes.

While birds and other wildlife might seem hungry, feeding them just isn't a good idea. Here's why:

“People” food isn’t good for animals.
It makes wild animals lose their natural fear of people and they can become a nuisance.
Wild animals who depend on people for food can cause injuries or spread disease.
Thank-you for your co-operation.
