Foxes in Bondi

1 answer

• Hi Emma,
  Whilst there are chickens at the school there will always be a fox close by. The best way to keep them out is to build a fox proof enclosure for the chickens. However the fox will still be around to cause the chickens stress and discomfort.

  With regard to controlling foxes in a densely urbanised environment, this is extremely difficult. Many of the fox control techniques available are not feasable in areas like Bondi due to off-target impact on domestic animals, native fauna and a risk to human safety.

  There are passive forms of control that we can all use to minimise foxes lurking in your neighbourhood.These include; keeping lids on bins (especially compost), dont leave pet food outside overnight, blocking up holes in drains and underneath houses and removing dense weed infestations that act as a pleasant home for the fox. Just remember foxes will eat almost anything!

  I think National Parks have used dogs to deter foxes preying on Penguin colonies?
