One of the rehabilitated mums flying a lap of our transition cage. Not long before she and her pals are released into the wild again.

A black flying fox got caught on an antenna just near palm trees he was probably feeding in. We were fortunate & thankful to have a cherry-picker operator to help with the rescue! The young fella is now happily recovering, with the help of some fresh juicy mango 🥭 🦇

An encounter with barbed wire has left this Black Flying-fox with some nasty injuries. Barbed wire is particularly hazardous to bats & other nocturnal wildlife as the wire strands are invisible at night. In the meantime, she is settling into her new environment, receiving antibiotics & pain relief

This young black flying fox got entangled in netting over a banana flower. She ended up with a cut lip trying to free herself chewing on the net. Nets with holes large enough to poke a finger through are a hazard that can cause horrific injuries to birds, #bats and other animals.

Meet Peekaboo, who peeped out from under the towel to see what her rescuer was up to. She’d been spotted by a child hanging at the back of a car park. She isn’t the only nosey one in the aviary – she received the usual sniff test from the welcoming committee who check out all newcomers on arrival!

Flying-foxes are the major pollinators for our native forests. They are Australia’s secret weapon against climate change & have played a critical role in helping restore the land destroyed by the 2019/20 bushfires. 🦇🌳🌼 #bats #NoMeNoTree #Australia #ClimateEmergency #Biodiversity
