Every morning the senior citizens of the batty world are brought out into the aviary from their warmer nighttime cages, where they settle in, groom, scratch and argue - well Walter generally yells at anyone who encroaches on his territory and the others make token protests when he gets too loud and long.
These are the old dudes who can't hang well and need a trampoline net under them in case they fall. They have ledges and slings but quite like climbing around on the ropes with their backup net underneath.
In the wild, these flying-foxes would live maybe up to 15 years. In care, they can survive till their mid 20s.
Walter is 26-27. Teddy is 25. Gelert is 12, and Angophora is 24.
This video is part of a fundraiser for aviary extensions, building and maintenance. Thanks Mandi for the video footage.
Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for the aviary fundraiser.

Mention Megabattie or Meg/Aviary in the PayPal message box and the money will find its way to the aviary building fund.
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 which is the preferred method of donating, 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.
