Ever Been Licked By A Bat? Meet Poppy - Hazards of Working With Bats - Behind The Scenes Bat Aviary
Working behind the scenes in a bat aviary can be a lot of fun. Especially when some of the bats in care are long-term resident flying foxes (special licensed educational bats - ambassadors for their kind).
But it can be very hard at times to get your work done as they are extremely curious, intelligent animals with real characters of their own.
Check out Poppy who LOVES a good salt lick and can be VERY persistent. And I'm the 'victim'...
What do they say about acting with children or animals? Well, that definitely includes bats!
AUSALIAN FLYG 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!

MORE ABOUT NDI
Mandi has been a licensed bat carer for nearly 30 years. She lives in Southeast Queensland and cares for bats from her personal funds and any donations she may receive.
She looks after baby bats, orphaned bats, injured bats, and even geriatric bats who are allowed to live out their days in the blissful batty comfort of her loving care.
Being an individual carer and not a member of a Not-For-Profit wildlife organization, she does not receive any form of government financial support.
