I'm a nice guy really... It seems that coyotes are a bird's best friend.
Areas visited by coyotes have fewer small predators, such as
racoons, skunks, and cats, but have more resident native birds. The
presence of a larger predator, such as a coyote, keeps the smaller
predators in check, which allows the abundance of native birds in
the area. AUGUST 7, 1999, P. 25
