Take A Tour Around Jeannie's Brand New Bat Aviary For Rescued Flying Foxes - Behind The Scenes
Jeannie Campbell has been a bat carer for many years. But her dream was to build an aviary large enough for her rescued flying foxes to fly in.
A flight bat aviary allows them to build up their flight muscles after days, weeks, or even months in care. This is essential before they can ever be released into the wild. It is all a very important part of their rehabilitation.
Well, one day in January 2021, her dreams came true and a 8 x 3 x 3m aviary was finally constructed in her backyard. And we were able to help her with the finishing touches.
So this is a tour of the aviary shortly after it was finished. Jeannie had just moved some of her adult bats into it, including the mums and baby flying foxes she had kept in the smaller aviary next door to this one (see previous videos).
And it certainly looks like the bats are making themselves at home!
MORE ABOUT AUSTRALIAN FLYING FOXES:
Flying foxes play an important role in dispersing seeds and pollinating flowering plants. They are crucial in keeping our native forests healthy.
And because flying foxes are highly mobile, seeds can be moved locally and over great distances. Thus they are vital as our forest pollinators too.
Flying foxes are also the largest flying Australian mammal. And the only mammal in Australia that is the closest genetically to humans - go figure! Throughout history, humans have always wanted to fly but the flying foxes beat us to it. Now THAT deserves our admiration!
