Description
Magus is an adult male Grey-Headed Flying-Fox who was on the ground in a backyard near the river.
He was theoretically able to escape his location and climb somewhere to get enough height to fly away, but was concussed enough that he chose not to do so.
The rescuer dropped him off to me for care for a few days until we could find a buddy for him. Batties are so much less stressed if they have companionship in their captivity.
He's not too bad, but does seem at least a little concussed at this stage.
(I'm a few days ahead of you so I can assure you all that his trajectory in care is doing well and I think he'll be releasable within the weak.
Fingers crossed and KOKO Magus.
Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for our batties. Tolga is an awesome place in Far North Queensland, which has charity status. By sending donations to them, they get a percentage (and deserve every cent) and they can allocate money to me for batty expenses without it becoming part of my income stream (which makes tax time difficult).

Mention Megabattie or Meg in the PayPal message box and the money will find its way to me.
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, 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.
