Mostly small game. Rabbits, squirrels, the occasional untended small pet.They do like a chicken when they can get one. Eggs from ground nesting birds.

Voles, prairie dogs, eastern cottontails, ground squirrels and mice. Coyotes will also eat small birds, snakes, lizards, deer, javelina(A kind of hog), cattle and small insects. Coyotes also eat some fruits and vegetables during autumn and winter months.

Coyotes are primarily carnivorous .They mostly capture small mammals which comprise 90% diet of coyotes . But they eat vegetables and fruits in autumn and winter . For details see link below .

Coyotes are opportunistic carnivores, which means they prey on any animals they can find. 90% of their diet is made up of mammals- voles, prairie dogs, eastern cottontails, ground squirrels and mice. Coyotes will also eat small birds, snakes, lizards, deer, javelina, cattle and small insects. Coyotes also eat some fruits and vegetables during autumn and winter months.rly

A coyotes' main diet consists of mice, rats, insects, rabbits, etc. They are known to hunt day and night, either alone or in packs. Coyotes will occasionally hunt larger animals but not alone. They have also been known to eat out of open garbage cans and whatever humans feed them. So keep your garbage cans covered and do not encourage them with food.

Coyotes usually eat any kind of meat in the area. Whatever is easy to catch, something that is injured is usally the most effecient.


Pretty much whatever it can. Small rodents it hunts down or whatever it can scavenge.

they will pretty much eat leftover elk, moose, bison and other deer leftover from any carnivores that can kill something and coyotes also eat small mouse (or as rodents) fruit, ground squirrels, wolf offsprings (wolf pups) birds, and snow shoe hares or rabbits.
Coyotes are omnivorous. Their diet changes according to the season. Some of their diet includes birds, snakes, cactus fruit, flowers, insects, and mesquite beans.
