Once it has relocated, close off the space with lattice or another type of barrier. I see a fox, skunk or raccoon acting strangely. Foxes, skunks and raccoons, which usually come out in the evening, are rabies vector species, which means they can potentially carry and transmit rabies. Animal is wandering around shaking its head and growling. Animal is aggressive, shows no fear and charges you for no apparent reason.
Animal is curled up and sleeping in an open area during daylight.
These are potential symptoms of the rabies virus. It is illegal to trap or remove these animals from the property alive. Coyotes prefer carrion and small animals like rabbits, squirrels and mice. A hungry coyote that can't find food will take what it can, so we suggest you keep your small pets inside, especially at night. Place the birdfeeder at least 10 feet from any tree or shrub from which the squirrel can jump.
