Did You Know Bats LOVE Eating Native Fig Leaf? Behind The Scenes Working In Mandi's Bat Aviary
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. And the list obviously also includes fig leaves too, judging from this video!
Only when native foods are scarce, particularly during drought, do bats have to supplement this diet by eating fruit from introduced plants found in gardens, orchards, parks, and streetscaping.
MORE ABOUT MANDI
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.
FUNDRAISING FOR MANDI'S BATS
This video is part of my fundraising initiative to help Mandi feed her bats, maintain and improve her aviaries.
So, if you would like to donate to Mandi's bats, then use a PayPal account to send your donation to Mandi:

Use Mandi's username: Amanda Griffith (Amanda Jane Griffith)
Mandi and her bats THANK YOU! ;-)
