Flying Fox Colony

They're rather chittery aren't they?

Yes and the volume of that video doesn't do them justice.

I love bats. Such lovable looking little buggers. As long as we aren't eating them and getting sick from it.

If these are Australian FFs they aren't little

Pretty damn cute!

The screaming could be annoying for sure. Never had to Dela with them so I'm not privy to there typical habits. We only have the little insect eaters here.

They do make a bit of noise, but generally I like them. I used to live just around the corner from a colony, maybe 200 meters-ish. Couldn't hear them from that distance. Maybe if they were in your back yard the noise would get a bit wearing, though. Also poo from bats that have a fruit and nectar diet is... well, considerable, so I wouldn't want to park under them.

Nah they look roughly football sized.

Do not. Repeat. Do not walk under those trees.

I think it is pretty neat that you just see these animals on the way home from shopping. I have always been sort of fascinated with bats. I have rescued a few that were caught on fishing line and one that was torpid outside of work.

Tonight, on the way home from the grocery store, I saw a regular, ground-bound fox getting after some bit of roadkill. No pictures though.
