It is true we do have wildlife in Sun City it's just a little less wild. Ducks, geese, swans, rabbits, and quail boy do we have quail! We also have predators, coyotes mostly but owls and hawks are there too. If it wasn't for them, we would be up to our belly buttons in rabbets and quail.
They are a part of Sun City as much as the golf course or the block walls. It is a good eco system over all. Although sometimes a coyote will get a cat or small dog or even my golf ball, for the most part it works as long as we remember they are wild animals not pets. If one of these animals become a nuisance or are hurt you can call Arizona Game and fish at 480-981-9400 for direction of what to do. And always remember Do not feed the animals they bite!
