When foxes scream at your house it means that the foxes are trying to attract mates or even ward off rivals and assert their dominance and even protect their young.
The screams a fox makes can sound like a human scream or a bird like cry, and are also often heard at night, especially during mating season.
Foxes will scream for a variety of reasons, primarily related to territoriality and communication although mating season is the most noisiest time for foxes to scream.
Foxes are often heard at night, especially during their mating season.
Foxes are also very highly territorial and screaming is a way for them to warn other foxes to stay away from their claimed area.
Foxes also use their screams to communicate with each other, whether it's to maintain contact, alert each other to danger and coordinate activities and they also scream when they are in distress or when they feel threatened by a predator.
The peak of fox screaming often also coincides with mating season, which often occurs in late winter between the months of December and January.
And foxes are also nocturnal animals, which means the foxes are most active during the night, which is why you're most likely to hear foxes screams at night instead of during the daytime.
Female foxes often scream to signal their availability for mating and male foxes often scream to assert their dominance and attract the female foxes.
