Bib is an adult female GreyHeaded FlyingFox with a baby on her, whose story was weird. The school reported that they found her on a Monday and put her outside in a tree, but she flew back inside and was there on the Tuesday. The window where she supposedly got in wasn't a window she could have flown through and there was no reason for her to return, no flowering trees nearby and no reason she would randomly fly into the same spot twice, so her accident scenario is a puzzle.

Bib's baby, 8 day old Bub was uninjured, but Bib had hit her head quite badly and was very concussed. In care, I separated little Bub off her mum because she was peeing on her mum, and mum wasn't all that happy about it. I put them separately in the same incubator with Bub wrapped on a clean roll, but when I came back, they had reunited and Bub was on her mum. I just cleaned them both up and separated them again, knowing that baby would probably return to mum sometime.

Bib and Bub were transferred to the Princess for head injury care, but Bib died on the first night. Bub returned to my care for a few days stabilisation, then she went to a carer and is now named Meg (!).

RIP Bib, but I'm glad your baby is OK and being raised so she can be released back into the wild where she's supposed to be.
