We were on a boat last summer and saw an eagle in the water. It was waterlogged and he was exhausted. I fished him out of the lake and got him into some sun warmed beach towels and dried him off. He was just so weary from trying to fly that he actually fell asleep in my arms. We set him on a nice warm seat cushion and just left him be to dry out with the wind and sun and sleep as long as he wanted. After a few hours he perked up and flew off. He was a little shaky at first but he made one pass over us and left. I am certain he would have drowned or been run over from a boat. Nice feeling to see them get back to their ways knowing you made it possible. Just takes a little caring and some common sense.
I'm a carpenter, and 15 years ago I was doing exterior trim on a house. A little bat followed me everyday and watched me from like 3 feet away. He acted like a dog I swear, cute little guy!
Last year we had a tiny... I mean TINY TINY little bat in our barn! Every night when I would go to feed the horses he would fly around me lol. One day he was sitting still so I decided to get his picture. he actually let me get like 2 inches away from him. Such a cutie!!!
When i was young i went caving a few times and i was terrified of bats because of a common belief that they're flying at you and getting tangled up in your hair. I don't know how much is true in this common belief but now seeing them close up here on youtube i just think of them as cute little puppy dogs with their built in umbrellas lol 😃
Because in the U.S. the news and the government agencies scare us to death about rabies. Every summer they constantly report on how many bats they tested have rabies. They tell us if you wake up in a room with a bat, get the shots immediately. (I didn't this summer, but I worried about it for a month.) They run stories of the person who didn't know they were bit and died. They tell you rabies can remain in you for years and then kill you. They point out it is always fatal. So it isn't the bat itself anyone is scared. It is the hype.
I think people kept some kind of superstitious feeling from the time when religion depicted the devil as a bat-like creature. I love bats too. Although a vet in France recently explained to me that they really can have rabbies (I thought the movie Cujo was exaggerated), and if I was to find one dead, I should carefully handle it and put it in a plastic bag, seal it, and bring it to the nearest vet for them to run tests and see if it had rabbies. That way they can map where thr disease is present. He told they can definitely transmit rabbies to pets from saliva alone... If the bat comes to you instead of being afraid, it's not a good sign. Otherwise, they're so adorable!
Flying foxes are not the same as most of the bats we have in the US. Most species are smaller, rat-like, and usually kinda ugly and gather in swarms which is usually what adds to their fear factor. Few people enjoy seeing a cave with a roof covered in hundreds of squirming rat creatures that can fly
I’m a hunter and I actually did make an actual bat burrito once I shot one with my crossbow. Was a slightly gamey flavour but once u got used to it it was really moreish and I went back to the same spot and managed to shoot a few 😊more.
@@Rapscalionshandeekin Just so you know many bat species are on the endangered list and they are vital to the environment. If you kill a bat that is on the endangered list you do commit a crime. Smaller bats eat insects and without them we would be overrun by mosquitos and such. Larger bats like seen here spread seeds when they eat fruit and without them we humans would lose out on certain fruits that we love. So to care for the bats is critically important.
I dodge bats swooping to get water from my pond every night because they're so dangerous just to touch cuza rabies, but this little guy makes me wanna risk it.. he's, he's a tiny flying dog. Omg2Qt
Eddie is a miracle baby who got a chance at life because of you. He's strong because of your devotion and love. He's out there living his best battish life. Thanks so much for all you do for the bats.🦇
This is how we felt about our great horned owl, Tallan. We raised her, taught her how to hunt and feed, and eventually let her make the decision to go. She followed us across town when we moved and hooted outside my cousins window for weeks before finally going off on her own.

🙏 Thank you so much for helping Eddie and these wonderful bats! Not only are they cute, they help fertilize nuts and fruit trees as well as controlling bugs and mosquito population!
I've read that a bat colony can decimate an entire mosquito population because they basically eat their weight in mosquitos every night. I think it's horrible that instead of encouraging bats to kill off mosquitos, we spray toxic chemicals that kill the mosquitos' natural predators---bats & fish...and it also kills hummingbirds. Humans do some really stupid and awful things.
You’re all so delusional, you think life is some type of fantasy film. They need warnings on this video for kids especially. NEVER touch a bat especially if it looks ill. This encourages people to mess with or “help” bats that they see. 1 in 16 bats sent in for testing were positive for rabies virus. This is a disease that’s 100% fatal and kills you in the most painful way you can imagine. Bats are not “cute”. They’re the #1 disease spreading animal to humans. There’s FAR more than enough bats in this world, they do not need any saving. People like this who interfere with nature and think they’re doing something “good”, is incredibly stupid and simple minded.
Hats off to the workers that brought Eddie to the rescue. I've read when there are sick bats that can't fly, the others will bring food back to feed them.
They do and even vampire bats do as well because they have to feed often. And they remember who shares with them and who is stingy because they often won't share with the stingy ones and instead prefer to feed others who were nicer if they are sick.
Mmm. Those are rehab babies. The goal is to release them back to the wild. By the time they're releasable, they become wild batties and don't want anything to do with us hoomans.
They are just portrayed as creepy dark, night creatures that scare people, but most of them aren't even dangerous. Only the blood sucking ones can spread diseases because of obvious reasons. Flying foxes are friendly and intelligent animals.
I'm impressed at how much care and love Eddie received. I think it takes a special person to administer to the needs of a baby bat. This is a happy story, a success story and I thank Eddie's care-giver. In the circle of life, every one and every living critter has a place!

@@onlyme112Because they come out during the night and in swarms (in the dark as silhouettes behind the moonlight that can look pretty scary! Especially in caves with little to no light and they just swarm around!). At daytime they look so chill and aren't out hunting so that helps too.
What a dear little fellow Eddie is . I loved the description of Bat 🦇 💕 it’s just whoever likes whoever really. I’m glad Eddie was able to have a chance at a Free life. Not having to go before he was ready. This is a great system. Thanks for sharing Eddie’s story. ❤ from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Awww ! They look so cute, each one with its own "bah bah", drinking their milk. Look like tiny dogs . Thank you and God bless you for all your love for these angels . I'm sure Eddie will always remember you.
@@기치죠지의치킨난반 I really have no words for people like you who are afraid of everything. Again with the false myth of viruses and bacteria that make you sick. We are surrounded by billions of viruses/bacteria from birth and we need them. Stop with the bullshit. Think how much harm we humans do to animals even without viruses.
Awwwww, sweet precious Eddie! Fly high and enjoy your life! Thank you for taking care of Eddie and all the other bats who are in need of love and support! 💖🦇💖
I raised a baby squirrel years ago - it was bittersweet when he was healthy and old enough to release. I still think of him, especially when I see other squirrels. ❤😊❤
Great video. I've always liked bats. I think they're cute - almost like a little dog, except with wings. Fascinating critters.....So glad there are people like you giving them another chance at a good life.
I think the flying fox/dog faced type bats are really cute. But the ones we have where I live are unattractive. Most are the size of a winged mouse and have tiny bead like eyes, smashed in flat faces and absolutely huge ears. They look like little goblins and arent that cute. But they are wonderful pest control. Theres a colony that lives in a tree nearby and its cool to watch them when they take off to feed in the evening and listen to their chittering at night after they come back. Very few biting insects in my neighborhood
@@childofcascadia I think those are called vampire bats.. they are kind of ugly but they're still just bats and won't hurt you unless there is something wrong like protecting young or if they have rabies.
@mx mars The ones that live near me are called long eared myotis bats. They eat insects and are one of the more common types of bat where I live. They pretty much mind their own business and they way keep down the amount of mosquitos and moths in the neighborhood. Its cool to watch them when they take off to go catch bugs. They all go off at once and its neat to see them all fly off in different directions to hunt for the night. These bats are afraid of people and wont let you get close to them, so I know if one let you approach it, its probably very sick and to stay away from it and call the wildlife people. But vampire bats are pretty cool too. Myotis species bats look kind of like them, but they have a slightly pointier nose and they eat insects instead of blood. Vampire bats dont live in the western US though, only in central and south america. Id like to see one someday.
Eddie is adorable! They are like rubber winged puppies-- angels?! No one should say 'blind as a bat' anymore! And who knew bats like to French kiss!! ❤😂
It's not entirely true that bats are the only mammals that can fly. Every time I fly somewhere (that's relatively often around 20 times a year), I see at least 2 to 4 stewardesses per flight. 😌 I think that in fairness one should not forget the species of humans. Because 1. they fly and 2. they can give milk and suckle. Some also make such (funny) noises, unfortunately I haven't found out what they mean by that, but I don't think it's a bad thing, because they always smile. Maybe someone here can help me with something if any of you have experienced something similar. I thank you in advance.
I always perceive bats as a scary and dirty animal. You and Eddie change my perspective once and for all. When I see them again, I'll remember that they also a wonderful animal. Thank you.❤
Honestly bats ARE vectors for many viruses and diseases that can spread to people (not just rabies). Never handle random bats that you don’t know or that are not from captivity
Bats are super critical to the environment. They're one of the primary forces keeping insect populations down and pollinate cactus, amongst other roles. These particular Bats are Fruit Bats. They're also being slowly driven extinct by wind farms.
@@rpdx3 Far more dangerous than any wind farm is issues like white nose syndrome! I used to be a caver and we had to employ some serious decontamination and safety procedures to try and keep uninfected cave populations safe.
I like watching our bats come out late dusk. Their flight looks graceful but strong. They really do keep mosquitoes at bay in our hot humid summers. Thank you so much for your loving work. It wouldnt be easy to say goodbye to the babies you raised and loved. Rescue people are so vital and so special. And i just saw a thumbs up from little Eddie! ❤
Thank you for caring for little Eddie. I know it is hard to let go after raising them from a baby, but you did the right thing. Eddie is enjoying his freedom and social life with other bats. God bless you and Eddie. Live long and prosper.
Thank you for saving Eddie. Bats are really so cute. I think you probably have seen him and just didn’t realize that he was waving at you and saying Hi Mum!
Little flying puppies! I’m so glad there are rescuers for bats because they are so threatened by human activity. Eddie was so cute drinking milk upside down with a drop of milk on his nose😄Hope Eddie has a great life in the wild !
She is a dedicated, kind, and loving mother-figure to these skybound goodbois and it’s amazing. They may be considered gothic and scary but these flying puppies are leather-winged angels and I hope they always have a healthy habitat to thrive in.
Recently I found a blind black little kitten that looks exactly like Eddie, and I call him “my little bat” he is so cute,like Eddie,I m so happy you helped him and he is now free to live his life. I once saved a bat too,they are amazing animals. Greetings from Greece ❤
The end is so Bittersweet. When she says in the night sky when she sees the bats flying and wonders if one of them is Eddie. Beautiful and yet still hurts the heart. 💔🦇
Oh, I am just in love with these beautiful babies. They are so adorable and so precious. I only wish I had the bond with these creatures that you have with them. I love these beautiful majestic, misunderstood beings. I feel like we as humans could learn a lot from this species. Thank you sooo much for sharing this video. You made my day! For the Love of Bats! 🦇🥰❤
Absolutely adorable video!Lots of Love to Eddie and bats and to you and all those who volunteer to look after them!!! That's the Way: to support and protect Life and its wonderful diversuty!!! Thank you! Namaste💖
We had a bat, when I was a kid, get hung up, some how, in our front door burglar bars/screen. My pops got it out and it flew into our house and we lost it. Later that night, my ma and pops were watching Halloween and my ma heard a noise, like quiet fluttering. Then she screamed and my pops turned on the fan light. It was, of course, the bat. It was looking for a way out and flying with precision around the ceiling fan. My pops opened the patio door and out it went. Never saw a bat again in my life. My ma was scared from the movie and when she saw a giant black thing flying through the house...😅 I never figured out how it got stuck between the screen and burglar bars.🤔
Wow….I’ve always found bats very creepy. I never knew they were actually this adorable!! Thanks to TH-cam, I am learning that every single animal on this planet is beautiful in its own way!
What great information given about Eddie's species. I think it is wonderful to have a safe place for lost bat's. Eddie was blessed to have you to care for him. Blessings to you and all.
Thank you for all the work you do. It's amazing how most animals, regardless of species or habitats, are so loving and respond to love. Shouldn't we bring more of this type of pure love into the world?
@@tjarkschweizer You're correct. Every living creature has emotions. It's just that some people don't want to consider the consequences of their actions. Some of those people don't even like considering the feelings of women, children and others who are not exactly like themselves!
this animal is so intresting to me..but what is more interesting is the fact that we still have those good hearted helping people that cares about anything that keeps our planet natural and healthy and beautiful...thank you .we could not thank you enough ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my God, you are selfless with a heart of gold, to be able to release your little bat child into the wild. I know it made you happy and broke your heart, too ♡ Oh Eddie, I love you!❤
People who do animal rescue work are some of the nicest and sweetest people in the world. When I did this work I was so proud of the people I worked with. If you can help an animal rescue please do, you won't regret it and will have good friends and memories forever!
Also, megabat wildlife rescuers are the most courageous wonderful caring people. It’s an extremely stressful often heartbreaking job & these people are my biggest heroes! I can’t thank them all enough for doing what they can to save these incredible bats that are so vital to Australia’s complex forest ecosystems. I wish I could personally thank this lady for the amazing job she is doing! I try to donate to the bat rescue orgs when I can but it often doesn’t seem enough when we see tragedies happen like the Australian fires & floods.
We were on a boat last summer and saw an eagle in the water. It was waterlogged and he was exhausted. I fished him out of the lake and got him into some sun warmed beach towels and dried him off. He was just so weary from trying to fly that he actually fell asleep in my arms. We set him on a nice warm seat cushion and just left him be to dry out with the wind and sun and sleep as long as he wanted. After a few hours he perked up and flew off. He was a little shaky at first but he made one pass over us and left. I am certain he would have drowned or been run over from a boat. Nice feeling to see them get back to their ways knowing you made it possible. Just takes a little caring and some common sense.
I hate eagles. They kill my chipmunks and squirrels so inhumanity. Fuck eagles.

@@MrAkaacer Fruit bats eat fruits you idiot. VAMPIRE BATS drink blood not human tho cattle pigs chickens blood. they do.
Hello covid, bye covid :D
xD
The way their ears move is so adorable. I’m so happy these bats are cared for by these good people
Eddie is adorable!! Awesome job Batmom !!!
I love Batmom 😊❤
What a dear little fellow Eddie is . I loved the description of Bat 🦇 💕 it’s just whoever likes whoever really. I’m glad Eddie was able to have a chance at a Free life. Not having to go before he was ready. This is a great system. Thanks for sharing Eddie’s story. ❤ from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

My mom had a skipperkee dog named Eddie and I always thought he looked just like a fluffy bat, so great to see this story! Full circle for me ❤
Love that little chittering sound bats make. ❤
Bats are adorable🥰
Oh, lady... You've got me emotional. God bless all the rescuers and the animals
I’m so glad there’s people like you in this world❤️❤️❤️
Awww ! They look so cute, each one with its own "bah bah", drinking their milk. Look like tiny dogs . Thank you and God bless you for all your love for these angels . I'm sure Eddie will always remember you.
🥰

She probably won't ever read this, but Rhi, YOU'RE A HERO,
thank you for the love you give to these little winged babies!
Completely agree. Such a beautiful job you’ve done ❤❤❤
Problem is, bats are notorious for being such a popular host for numerous virus…. It harbored corona virus as well..
@@기치죠지의치킨난반 I really have no words for people like you who are afraid of everything. Again with the false myth of viruses and bacteria that make you sick. We are surrounded by billions of viruses/bacteria from birth and we need them. Stop with the bullshit. Think how much harm we humans do to animals even without viruses.
@@기치죠지의치킨난반continue to believe in cov I.D. , pangolins and bats. And please go get your 6th dose!
Bravo ! yeong can have all of my unused doses. never ever jab my a$$@@nessy2000
Awwwww, sweet precious Eddie! Fly high and enjoy your life! Thank you for taking care of Eddie and all the other bats who are in need of love and support! 💖🦇💖
Air puppies
Who knew they'd be so affectionate, charismatic and intelligent. Wow amazing Eddie is a real character ❤
I raised a baby squirrel years ago - it was bittersweet when he was healthy and old enough to release. I still think of him, especially when I see other squirrels. ❤😊❤
Great video. I've always liked bats. I think they're cute - almost like a little dog, except with wings. Fascinating critters.....So glad there are people like you giving them another chance at a good life.
They're adorrrablle!!!
I think the flying fox/dog faced type bats are really cute. But the ones we have where I live are unattractive. Most are the size of a winged mouse and have tiny bead like eyes, smashed in flat faces and absolutely huge ears. They look like little goblins and arent that cute. But they are wonderful pest control. Theres a colony that lives in a tree nearby and its cool to watch them when they take off to feed in the evening and listen to their chittering at night after they come back. Very few biting insects in my neighborhood
@@childofcascadia I think those are called vampire bats.. they are kind of ugly but they're still just bats and won't hurt you unless there is something wrong like protecting young or if they have rabies.
@mx mars
The ones that live near me are called long eared myotis bats.
They eat insects and are one of the more common types of bat where I live. They pretty much mind their own business and they way keep down the amount of mosquitos and moths in the neighborhood. Its cool to watch them when they take off to go catch bugs. They all go off at once and its neat to see them all fly off in different directions to hunt for the night. These bats are afraid of people and wont let you get close to them, so I know if one let you approach it, its probably very sick and to stay away from it and call the wildlife people.
But vampire bats are pretty cool too. Myotis species bats look kind of like them, but they have a slightly pointier nose and they eat insects instead of blood. Vampire bats dont live in the western US though, only in central and south america. Id like to see one someday.
Eddie is adorable! They are like rubber winged puppies-- angels?! No one should say 'blind as a bat' anymore! And who knew bats like to French kiss!! ❤😂
Sky Puppies! 😁
Megabattie has a store where you can find merch with a rat looking up at a bat asking "Are you an angel?" Sales help fund bat rescue.
@@chellesama8256 sooooo cute ❤
@@chellesama8256 awesome! I'll have to go look!
It's more like "cute as a bat".
They are such beautiful creatures
I would have a terrible time letting go of this little guy! His little face has stolen my heart!❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
@@GeorgeMorgan6600creep
These bats are adorable! Eddie especially, though each has their own personality!
That face while he was eating was to precious and those cute sounds he made while getting his belly rubbed was just adorable!!! ❤
Both heartwarming and heartbreaking 💔❤😢
bats are amazing animals!! they are the only flying mammals.
bats are also very cute. love the chattering noises that Eddie
was making too.
It's not entirely true that bats are the only mammals that can fly. Every time I fly somewhere (that's relatively often around 20 times a year), I see at least 2 to 4 stewardesses per flight. 😌 I think that in fairness one should not forget the species of humans. Because 1. they fly and 2. they can give milk and suckle. Some also make such (funny) noises, unfortunately I haven't found out what they mean by that, but I don't think it's a bad thing, because they always smile. Maybe someone here can help me with something if any of you have experienced something similar. I thank you in advance.

@@mikuenjoyerXD Humor is probably a foreign word to you. you poor soul
@@mikuenjoyerXD little wannabe police man
I always perceive bats as a scary and dirty animal. You and Eddie change my perspective once and for all. When I see them again, I'll remember that they also a wonderful animal. Thank you.❤
Honestly bats ARE vectors for many viruses and diseases that can spread to people (not just rabies). Never handle random bats that you don’t know or that are not from captivity
They are only dirty because they are mammals and carry diseases.
Bats are super critical to the environment. They're one of the primary forces keeping insect populations down and pollinate cactus, amongst other roles. These particular Bats are Fruit Bats.
They're also being slowly driven extinct by wind farms.
@@thebighurt2495mostly correct, except for the wind farm bit. 👍🏼
@@rpdx3 Far more dangerous than any wind farm is issues like white nose syndrome! I used to be a caver and we had to employ some serious decontamination and safety procedures to try and keep uninfected cave populations safe.
He's a cute little puppy with wings!! ❤
Animal rescue videos are the tops.
They're about life.
Better. They are about love
I like watching our bats come out late dusk. Their flight looks graceful but strong. They really do keep mosquitoes at bay in our hot humid summers. Thank you so much for your loving work. It wouldnt be easy to say goodbye to the babies you raised and loved. Rescue people are so vital and so special. And i just saw a thumbs up from little Eddie! ❤
Nice to see there are still some good people on this planet.
What gorgeous little creatures they are. You guys are fantastic for helping these little fliers
This is amazing stuff. I never knew how affectionate and adorable bats can be. Thank you for the video, you're wonderful. 🧡from Sydney.
There's another rescuer in Australia with a channel called Batzilla. SO cute.
Megabattie is another excellent flying fox rescue youtube channel.
Thank you for caring for little Eddie. I know it is hard to let go after raising them from a baby, but you did the right thing. Eddie is enjoying his freedom and social life with other bats. God bless you and Eddie. Live long and prosper.
Thank you for saving Eddie. Bats are really so cute. I think you probably have seen him and just didn’t realize that he was waving at you and saying Hi Mum!
Such a cute little baby 🥹
Little flying puppies! I’m so glad there are rescuers for bats because they are so threatened by human activity. Eddie was so cute drinking milk upside down with a drop of milk on his nose😄Hope Eddie has a great life in the wild !
Yes! Some species remind me of teddy bears too❤
These people are heroes. I can't imagine a more rewarding way to live your life.
She is a dedicated, kind, and loving mother-figure to these skybound goodbois and it’s amazing. They may be considered gothic and scary but these flying puppies are leather-winged angels and I hope they always have a healthy habitat to thrive in.
That lady is an angel for what she does 😊

Lady - "Hi!"
Bat - *Activates taser*
Cutest squeaks when he gets his belly rubs 🩵💙💚💛
I never realized how cute bats are. What a wonderful story! Thank you for rescuing him!
Same here! We both learned!
its wonderfull that there are people like you in the world
Omg how adorable this beautiful bat
He really is a handsome boy isn't he! And like a doggy. I would love that one
Recently I found a blind black little kitten that looks exactly like Eddie, and I call him “my little bat” he is so cute,like Eddie,I m so happy you helped him and he is now free to live his life. I once saved a bat too,they are amazing animals.
Greetings from Greece ❤
I would sing Batman theme to my little black bat cat. BAT CAT! Dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna BATCAT!
@@beryllium1932YES
God has a special place for you ladies that take care of animals like this in heaven!❤
Wow these little guys really are a cross between a doggy and an umberella!!! Thank you for caring for them ❤️❤️❤️
So darn cute 😍
God bless all those who are kind to children, the elderly, the ill, and to animals...basically all those who are vulnerable.
I adore the flying puppies, thank you for taking care of them.
Vielen Dank für Rettung und die liebevolle Pflege ❤👍🏼
❤❤
The end is so Bittersweet. When she says in the night sky when she sees the bats flying and wonders if one of them is Eddie. Beautiful and yet still hurts the heart. 💔🦇
0:44 looks like snoop dog
Really does lol
😂🤣 i knew he was a vampire
Oh, I am just in love with these beautiful babies. They are so adorable and so precious. I only wish I had the bond with these creatures that you have with them. I love these beautiful majestic, misunderstood beings. I feel like we as humans could learn a lot from this species. Thank you sooo much for sharing this video. You made my day! For the Love of Bats! 🦇🥰❤
Absolutely adorable video!Lots of Love to Eddie and bats and to you and all those who volunteer to look after them!!! That's the Way: to support and protect Life and its wonderful diversuty!!! Thank you! Namaste💖
Awww! He smiled at you. I love to see bats flying around my neighborhood. I would love to have many more of them.
We had a bat, when I was a kid, get hung up, some how, in our front door burglar bars/screen. My pops got it out and it flew into our house and we lost it. Later that night, my ma and pops were watching Halloween and my ma heard a noise, like quiet fluttering. Then she screamed and my pops turned on the fan light. It was, of course, the bat. It was looking for a way out and flying with precision around the ceiling fan. My pops opened the patio door and out it went. Never saw a bat again in my life. My ma was scared from the movie and when she saw a giant black thing flying through the house...😅
I never figured out how it got stuck between the screen and burglar bars.🤔
Yes he loved her! So Sweet!
You are an Angel. Thank you!
Wow….I’ve always found bats very creepy. I never knew they were actually this adorable!! Thanks to TH-cam, I am learning that every single animal on this planet is beautiful in its own way!
That's amazing! I love that even though you were creeped out by them you still took the time to watch and learn more :) good on ya😊
Bears, lions, snakes - the more scarier, the more adorable!
@@Jr837_ Except spiders. ...The only cute ones are probably jumping spiders and peacock spiders, all the rest are just freaky.
@@DeltaSilver88 i mean, theres a lot of people who like em all, but yeah I personally agree lol
It depends on the species of bat
He is so precious.
why?
As if I didn't love bats already. Now I have a cuteness overload.
He’s so sweet and so are you!I’m so glad you’re looking after him.😊
What great information given about Eddie's species. I think it is wonderful to have a safe place for lost bat's. Eddie was blessed to have you to care for him. Blessings to you and all.
Thank you for all the work you do. It's amazing how most animals, regardless of species or habitats, are so loving and respond to love. Shouldn't we bring more of this type of pure love into the world?
I think many people are already trying!
@@PipeScholar I think you're right! Isn't that wonderful. So many great people out there bringing the best of themselves into this world.
A lot of people are convinced that only humans have emotions.
@@tjarkschweizer You're correct. Every living creature has emotions. It's just that some people don't want to consider the consequences of their actions. Some of those people don't even like considering the feelings of women, children and others who are not exactly like themselves!
Yes, but Republicans won't allow that.
These precious and adorable babies are so misunderstood. It's heartbreaking..
this animal is so intresting to me..but what is more interesting is the fact that we still have those good hearted helping people that cares about anything that keeps our planet natural and healthy and beautiful...thank you .we could not thank you enough ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Little Eddie was so affectionate! What an adorable squeak he made! God bless you for your concern & kindness for these tiny bats!
Oh my God, you are selfless with a heart of gold, to be able to release your little bat child into the wild. I know it made you happy and broke your heart, too ♡ Oh Eddie, I love you!❤
💖
Awww, these bat's are too cute and so fuzzy ☺️ 🦇 ❤❤❤
People who do animal rescue work are some of the nicest and sweetest people in the world. When I did this work I was so proud of the people I worked with. If you can help an animal rescue please do, you won't regret it and will have good friends and memories forever!
You are such a special lady. Bats are such amazing little creatures. Thank you for helping all the Eddie’s.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
You champion their beautiful lives!! Eddie is always thinking of you and grateful for you! Thank you for your constant care and compassion!
He is so cute this little guy 🥺 Thank you for saving him 🙏
Thank you to all who help animals
Amazing. I had no idea they were so affectionate. Almost like flying puppies.
I've always thought the fruit bats were interesting and beautiful animals. It's great to see someone caring for them like this.👍👍👋
Also, megabat wildlife rescuers are the most courageous wonderful caring people. It’s an extremely stressful often heartbreaking job & these people are my biggest heroes! I can’t thank them all enough for doing what they can to save these incredible bats that are so vital to Australia’s complex forest ecosystems. I wish I could personally thank this lady for the amazing job she is doing! I try to donate to the bat rescue orgs when I can but it often doesn’t seem enough when we see tragedies happen like the Australian fires & floods.
So great to see such help. The bats are adorable, cuteness overload
Bless you for your passion and love for these special creatures! 💕
