Bonnet is an orphan female Grey-Headed Flying-Fox who has been in care with me for 5 weeks since she came to me from Bomaderry Creek (175kms south) after the heat stress incident in January 2013.
She is my last flying-fox baby for the season. She's going back to Bomaderry Creek to finish being raised with another late baby who was a premature baby then will be released through their creche.
When the hand raised babies are 3 months old, they go into a creche, where they join other orphans and form a group. They learn batty etiquette and how to live in a batty society. They shrug off their human mums and want to be with the other batties. When they are emotionally and physically ready, and uninjured, and around 4-5 months old, they’re put into a release cage under a colony and they can integrate into the colony and fly out with the wild bats. If they can’t find enough food, they can always come back to the cage for a feed. Support feeding is put up on the outside of the cage for as long as they are coming back and eating it. When the colony flies out for winter, they have fully integrated and fly out with them.
