Juvenile flying-fox in care days 2 and 3: this is Foveaux

Follow
Megabattie

Apologies, this video isn't particularly well aimed either; I've chopped out the really bad bits but left in the bits where the talk is critical and there is some vision.

Foveaux is a juvenile female GreyHeaded FlyingFox who is only 17 weeks old, which is quite young for this time of the year.
She crashlanded into an internal balcony area, unable to escape, just hooking her feet in the sliding door runners and waited for something to happen. This development complex wasn't quite ready for sale, and the workmen were there every day which meant she was found the morning after her crash.
She is only young, very inexperienced, and the architecture of the building is not particularly bat friendly; this area is a batty accident waiting to happen. I expect there will be other bats stuck in the same place sometime in the future.

Foveaux is a survivor though she's really stressed and anxious about what is happening to her. I couldn't decide if her unrelaxed and hunched legs were from an injury (spinal, pelvic or soft tissue) or just from stress.
I have to admit, when she's hanging with hunched legs she looks like she's a bit chubby, so she also acquired an extra name, Miss Podge.

YAY: I love survivors and she's definitely survivor material.

Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for our batties. Tolga is an awesome place in Far North Queensland, which has charity status. By sending donations to them, they get a percentage (and deserve every cent) and they can allocate money to me for batty expenses without it becoming part of my income stream (which makes tax time difficult).

Mention Megabattie or Meg in the PayPal message box and the money will find its way to me.
If no message box appears, please email Jenny to tell her that the money is for me.
IMPORTANT: If you pay through the PayPal Giving Fund, can you please email Jenny with the AMOUNT DONATED and the name under which you have donated, OR just forward along the PP receipt.
The Giving Fund doesn’t charge any fees (so the bats get more money) but PP doesn’t itemise out the amount, they just send a total every month, and we don’t know if the money is for Tolga or for Megabattie.
Here’s Jenny’s email.
