Watch Bats Eating Corn Cob! - Hot Tip Feeding Bats In Care Behind The Scenes In Jeannie's Bat Aviary
Nowhere in my research about flying foxes was there a mention that food for bats not only includes pollen, nectar, and some fruits, but they also eat...corn on the cob. What the?!!!
Well, here is living proof as Jeannie puts out food for the bats in the aviary at night and includes a corn cob kebab suspended from the ceiling.
Watch as the flying foxes go crazy for it. This is real behind-the-scenes action in a bat aviary. And, the biff is on! AMAZING!
PS.Watch how they use their thumbs to grab the corn, or to poke their competition!
FLYING FOX FOOD:
Most people think bats or flying foxes only eat our backyard fruit or fruit in our commercial orchards. But they don't.
In fact, their natural food is pollen and nectar from over 100 species of native trees and vines.
They can eat the flowers and sometimes leaves of eucalypt, lily pilly, paperbark, and turpentine trees.
When native foods are scarce, particularly during drought, the bats may supplement this diet by eating fruit from introduced plants found in gardens, orchards, parks, and streetscaping.
FUNDRAISING DONATIONS:
Should you like to help with their care, then make a difference and consider donating to your local wildlife group. Even just $1 can make a big difference!
And if you are a resident of Southeast Queensland, then you could use the link: https://batrescue.org.au/donate/
All donations over $2 are fully tax-deductible.
