The first time I saw a Flying Fox I fell in love with them. I think they are wonderful and unique.

The first time I saw a vid of a flying-fox pup, I was kind of hooked. I was doing the basic rescue course for wildlife rescue and they said that with possum joeys (I thought I'd care for them), you feed them, change them and put them back; you don't play with them and humanise them because they're solitary animals and need to learn to be by themselves, and if you humanise them they're not releasable. So I thought - oh, that sounds like work with no cuteness reward... Then the next section was on bats, and with baby bats you're allowed to love them, play with them, cuddle them, talk to them, tell them what good little fluff ball they are... in fact, not only are you allowed to love them, but you HAVE to love them, because they're colony animals and their mums are very close and loving with them and very tactile and interactive. So I decided right then and there to do flying-fox pups; I loved the babies instantly, but I learned to love the adults and appreciate them for what and who they are. They're amazing creatures and so intelligent in a way we can actually understand and interact.

Gladys - the perfect name for that beautiful, dignified elder states-woman of her species (and 'Gummy-Bear). I love the oldies too, be it a toothless bat, arthritic cat, or a dog with a grey muzzle - they are adorable I pray she will continue to get stronger each day, thanks to the wonderful humans who care so much. She's in the best possible expert hands with Meg. Bravo to the magnificent lady who took decisive action to get her off the road and call in the cavalry. Fingers and toes are firmly crossed for Gladys' recovery here in the UK. XXX

This morning a bunch of family came over to celebrate my birthday and my son and daughter-in-law's anniversary. When my kids got here, they handed me an envelope and said that they thought their gift would make me happy. I opened the envelope, and it was a certificate in my name for sponsoring a bat (Ray - is he still around?) at the Tolga Animal Hospital. They chose Ray because my favorite rock personality is Ray Davies of the Kinks. Anyway, I burst into tears and told them that it was, indeed, a perfect present. I had to tell people who understand, so thanks for reading 😊

hi, I started watching your channel last week. 1st I want to say that I have always been terrified of bats, Not anymore, they are so cute. thank you for that. 2nd, I swear that you treated Gladys before because I am positive she recognized you.I know I probably sound crazy to some but She was making noise until you started talking and then she stopped. When you uncovered her I swear she recognized you and was waiting to see your face And she was so happy to see you. I also feel that a lot of those bats have no way to tell you but I can feel that they really love you. Some more than others and some who are oblivious. They listen intently when you talk to them.🙂🙂Edit: I just read the part where you had to put her down but at least she went out being loved. I also just read that we don't have flying foxes in the US so glad I can see them on your channel.🙂

Hi Brandy I haven't rescued Gladys before; she's just horribly concussed and madly scrambling to figure out what's going on; they listen intently to you and pay close attention, because they're scared and injured. She's not chipped and she's not banded, so she hasn't been in care with me. She had so many injuries; many of which surprised me, particularly the pelvic and fibula fractures.

Welcome to Megabattie, I'm Meg I put lots of information in the descriptions under the videos - so if you have questions, look for the answers there first. I also put the fate of the animal if I know it, at the time I put the video up. I may put updates there later if I find out what happened to the animal after it has left my care. There is also a Happy Outcomes playlist if you want to only watch videos where the bat survives; this is a real life channel and you get the good, the bad, the ugly and distressing, and even my oopsies. You can find further videos on an individual bat by searching in the YT search bar for Megabattie/and the name of the bat you want to follow. There is a community tab (like a mini Facebook page) on my channel - if you go to Megabattie home page, there is a menu bar across the top under the cover pic. Home, Videos, Playlists, Community, About. If you click on the community tab there are posts there where I can share pix and talk about some of the videos I put up and answer questions. I put up videos from Mandi and my rescue and care videos, so look to the title or description to figure out the context of the vids. Mandi doesn't rescue but she does a huge amount of rehabbing and has a lot of permanent care bats unable to be released for various reasons. She sends me the most amazing videos of her old retired bats in care; they've all got individual personalities and adorable quirks. Mandi lives 1200 kms away from me so I don't get to visit there often. I raise money for her on the videos. The rescue vids from my point of view are all mine, and if you hear me talking and see my hands in the videos doing bat care, then that's me too.
