Donnikens is a subadult male GreyHeaded FlyingFox who was noticed by some children when he was hanging out in a tree for 2 days in a primary school playground.
The call came describing his height as 6 feet, however it was closer to 6 metres, which is fine because I had all my rescue poles in Froggie McB;
it was a fairly simple pole rescue though, since he wasn't trying to get away or struggle.
I called him Donnikens for his location; Doncaster Ave and Kensington.

His condition deteriorated rapidly after the adrenaline rush of rescue wore off; he died a few hours after I got him home.

RIP Donnikens

Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for me. 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.
