Why does Australia need flying-foxes? The most important reason for the conservation of flying-foxes revolves around their important pollination role and seed dispersal activities. The accelerating population decline of flying-foxes will inevitably impact on the pollination and seed dispersal requirements of our forests. The ongoing harvesting of forests for commercial gain impacts flying-fox food resources and roosting areas. A vicious cycle of destruction that benefits neither flying-foxes, th

We host three flying-fox species in our area with one being Grey-headed flying-foxes like Miss Moonshadow. Sadly, all Australian flying-fox populations are in rapid decline with Grey-headed flying foxes being our only endemic flying-fox species which means they are found nowhere else on the planet. Successive governments are continuing to promote unsustainable development and they seem to have no respect for ancient ecosystems and the rights of non human species to exist.

With a wingspan of more than a meter, the grey headed flying fox is the largest fruit-eating #bat in the world. They hang upside down in the trees, clinging on with ratchet like claws, which help them stay attached to the branches, and wrapping their large, elastic wings around themselves. 🦇 | Love Nature

Most Australian flying-fox species have specific and predictable birthing seasons but we are starting to see more and more infants born out of season. Grey-headed, Black and Spectacled flying-foxes generally give birth between October and December but we have had many March born Greys coming into care this year. We age flying-foxes by their forearm length (which continues to grow throughout their lives) and this measurement provides an accurate indication of age. Interestingly, there are reports

🔎 Did you know? Grey-headed flying-foxes (Pteropus poliocephalus) just love to cuddle! Pups will remain snuggled against their mother in a roost or even mid-flight.

As the smallest of the four best known Australian flying-fox species, Little Reds pack an awful lot of personality and intelligence into a very compact little body. I think of them as the speed racers of the bat world and they do most things twice as fast as Blacks and Grey-headed flying-foxes. They fly fast, they lap nectar at a great rate of knots, they tend to hang in tight clusters resembling large bunches of grapes.....and they possess a delicious perfume reminiscent of curry leaves!

It is not unusual for us to have a small number of orphans in care during the winter months. Here are Diva and Domino, two of the ten little red flying-fox orphans that our members are currently hand-raising. Domino (5 weeks of age) is shy and well-behaved compared to his ‘sister’ who is two weeks older. Diva is a hyperactive busybody who thinks she has far more important things to do than taking a nap! When they are old enough, Domino and Diva will join the other orphans in a large flight aviar

Yuki is an orphaned grey headed flying fox rescued from the NSW fires and drought. Grey headed flying foxes are a nationally listed vulnerable species. He was half the weight he should have been when he was first rescued but quickly started thriving in care with his carer. Yuki is now learning to fly and socialise with the other orphans. They will be released back into the wild once they build up their flight fitness and are ready for life in the wild. ~ Bats are Australia’s only long-distance p
