Meg "for all seasons". You certainly rise to every occasion😁 What lovely young men to have cared and tried to do what they could. That was a handful and a half dear Meg. So well accomplished. Lovely lady that you are😘
Quite vociferous wee survivors, and foul mouthed at that! Yay for survivors. They are so cute. Let's hope the escaped ones are okay. RIP li'l hurt non-survivor. 💞🦇
Yay!!! On all counts! The Arborists! The groundskeeper (for taking you there) You for going out all dressed up!! and the Bats!!! We love that they have survived!
I think the boys enjoyed your flirting…good thing you didn’t have to go up a tree in your dress. These are lovely big Gouldies, with awesome teeth and battitude. I loved the one who was sizing you up from the edge of the bag…the first to fly off. I’m glad only one was injured fatally, and hope the two escapees manage well. Happy for so many survivors who are now tucking into juicy mealworms. There was a serious note of respect from your chauffeur when he found your channel. I love that both men were interested in the bats, and the arborist took such good care with them. I hope your parents are doing well, and the next rescue was a good one.🌹🥂🖤🇨🇦
There’s a saying that golfing is a waste of a good walk. I agree. Those Goulds are cute, and scary, with those teeth. Yay for the survivors, and the arborists who trim trees in the fall, not the spring.
Lopping hollow limbs is good for the health of the trees, but awfully hard on wildlife that needs this sort of habitat. It's great that the arborist cared enough to rescue the bats and call for help. I admire your skill at handling these little guys - I'd be so concerned about squeezing them too hard that they'd all get away from me. It was kind of amusing that one of the workers thought bats laid eggs. I remember a few years ago a MOP asked you if the FFs had pouches, which was understandable in Australia, but eggs?
That sounds like a nasty flu, and I’m glad you are recovered. I’m doing much better now, February I was in hospital, but I’m on track now. My first spring flowers are blooming, and days are getting longer and warmer. I’m ready for it.🖤🇨🇦
When one escaped and flew so beautifully, I couldn't help but cheer it on, lol. I know it's best if you can bring them in and give them the care they need, but seeing one so full of life and energy made me really happy. 🦇🥰
Except it probably would have gone back and been quite flat and unhappy in its secondary roost. All the other bats weren't great once their adrenaline wore off.
A very exciting rescue with a great cast of characters and a happy ending! Lovely MOPs saved them and managed to do it without getting bitten or scratched. So good to hear you all appreciating and caring for them and planning for their future. Bet they LOVE those gut-loaded mealworms. A good thing, coming into the cold season there. Will the bats be released when they have recovered, with the assumption that they have an alternative roost site? Or will they be kept until warmer weather returns? You are so deft and gentle handling these tiny, fragile, frightened animals. Years of experience and continual learning. I love your charming the guys and winning more fans for the bats. I bet they will share this video with their friends, and so the knowledge and caring spreads.
We're hoping to get at least half of them back out there before winter. The issue is that the flight aviary for the micros (where they regain flight fitness) is in the southern highlands and if it's too cold there the bats go into torpor and don't fly, so it has to happen soon or else they need to be overwintered.
I winced every time you put another bat in that pouch, Meg. I kept expecting one of the bats was waiting to provide “a new experience in pain.” 😬 I’m glad you have fast reflexes.
@Penguin Overlord LOL they can bite through them, but they're not supposed to be able to bite through nitrile gloves; these gloves were not even latex just plastic. That's all that were in the car.
Have you been bitten by a microbat? Those teeth do look painful. Anyway, it's great that the arborist cared so much and saved their lives. Hopefully the two escapees weren't injured, but they flew well.
I got to see a bunch of micros at the OKC Zoo last week. They were so cuuuuute and I just stood there with my face glued to the glass like 😍 full of childish glee and giggles... My husband was like "how excited would you be if it was a flying fox?" And I was like... Crying happy tears at the very thought. A girl can dream. I have no idea where along the way I absolutely fell in love with bats, but here we are. 😂
@@Megabattie that' s true!! I have always loved bats but when I meet your channel ( fantastic channel!!!!) I i was a love at first sight for your FF's!!!! //
Respect the fierceness! Then line them up at the bar for drinks, pain med treats, and naps. Interesting that the mealworms got to the buffet first, then got to be the buffet.
Meg, Color me touched,What a lovely group of men.I can't believe you were triaging so calmly.I was getting stressed for you..I also heard you say you had a half hour, Coming from your parents etc. etc.You really, really have a lot on your plate. 💜🐾♥️ Nora from USA
I had another rescue to go to before the guy left at 4, and it was about 30-40 minutes away. As it turned out, I didn't have time for it all so I asked if the building manager could put it somewhere accessible to me, or if someone else might have the key. He gave the original sighter of bat the key to the room where he put the bat. I couldn't rush the micros because they really needed the fluids as support for their shock, and I wanted to drop the micros to a carer to give fluids to the bat I didn't have enough syringes to inject. It was on the way, but it was still at least a 10 minute diversion in all (traffic).
@Megabattie Honestly Meg, I don't know how you stay so calm. Thank goodness you can.Those tiny bats are tricky .Thanks and I hope you are taking time for yourself. 💜🐾♥️
LOL I just react to the mood of the people around me - my chauffeur was upbeat and excited, and the lovely arborist loves bats and cares about them. It's good to have something positive.
Lovely young men! So happy they were there and so willing to help. Especially advantageous for all of you who work in and with nature. Some people get so wiggly squirrelly when you mention bats. Man that was a beautiful green! I wish we could get the arborists here for our little forest lol. We have to keep fending off lawn freaks who just want to cut down everything. Even if it's YOUR trees and bushes and whatever. I think the last couple who got all uppity crazy didn't like our answers so they sold pretty quickly. After cutting a lot of stuff including some of ours. I mean we've only been here 23yrs. They're not touching ANYTHING on my land unless I say so. They wanted to use the fence that was ours on their side so they didn't have to pay for that section. It would have been ok as long as they didn't close off our access to our yard thru our gate in our fence. Nope. They wanted US to pay to replace some of it and cut down our old tree etc. Brought the tree guy in and he was already sawing away! We were like WTF do you think you're doing? Oh well he says it's dead so we're taking it down. Idk who had more steam coming out her ears. Me or my kid. This tree is in our yard. It has been here GOD knows how long as it was fully grown when we bought this place. And I just said I don't give a DAMN what your tree guy says. It's obviously NOT dead, look up mate. See the green leaves and the birds? Duh. Well she says I'd trust him more than you. I almost went over the fence. Or fell over laughing. Who the hell CARES what you think or who YOU trust?!! It's NOT YOUR LAND OR YOUR TREE YOU CRAZY WOMAN. Man. I would never have the audacity to think all must bow to my wishes like that. Oh my. Off I went lol. Sorry. Idky that hit me so hard. Guess it's because we're worried about our birds and bats and owls and the critters or blooms and such. They cut down a tree that had all kinds of nests in it. Every year. She uprooted all the hostas on their land but then went after the tiger lilies against OUR fence. I think even her hubby was ready to tell her to put a sock in it. She was an African American queen so she thought. But guess what? My daughter and grandkids are biracial. She did not like that one bit.😈😎🦇 Thanks Meg. I hope all the shorties come out ok. I love those little guys. So feisty! Remind me of you and my kid and her kid. Little but fierce😉 PS I watched a crap ton of ads hope it helps. Well I let em run anyway. Have seen them all countless times. Idky they call the actual STORY ONES ads.🙄
Wow! That's a lot of bats! So nice if all the handsome young men to help out and all! Once again, it's Meg to the rescue!! You must get incredibly busy this time of the year. Be well!! Much love from Oregon!
Hi Lori - it's not all that busy at the moment, except on days where I'm busy. maybe only up to half a dozen rescues per day over the entire greater Sydney area.
Glad most of the micros survived….Wow! It’s great you have that many subscribers,,,,,,hope you get alittle money out of that! We are the Golf Course capital in Southern Arizona, Golf Courses Galore and all the retirees live here, perfect weather except summers ( really HOT) from May to October…….everyone here has a golf cart, even golf cart parking at grocery stores 😃 I’m with you, not the least bit interested in Golfing 😱 I don’t get it really 🧐
The smaller they are, the crankier they are. 😄 Banty bats, not Banty roosters. And they should ALL have their mouths wash out with something icky. Such language!! 🦇🦇🦇🦇
The smaller they are, the harder they are to hold on too. Little implies fragile, but they're the ones with the most fight in them. My smaller stature cats proved this when they needed medication. Always a fight. You have bat burrito. I had cat.😅
Cats are less cooperative than bats; you'd think a pet cat would be easy to medicate, but they turn into screaming scratching banshees. Bats quickly settle down into cooperation and a grudging truce. At rescue they were full of adrenaline and feist.
@mike corona I was paying lip service to hand protection; I ran out of nitrile gloves. Good practice dictates I should be wearing bite proof gloves. I don't wear them for handling the flying-foxes because they can still inflict a bite through nitrile gloves - it may not actually pierce your finger directly but the nitrile will stretch over the tooth and coat it so no saliva will get through because it's like the tooth has a condom over it, but the tooth can still bite into you and inflict a puncture in your finger. I do better with catching flying-foxes with bare hands - I have more control. With the micros, I should have had nitrile gloves but I ran out and keep forgetting to buy more.
So relieved the arborist was so caring! Absolutely beautiful human ❤
Much respect for the arborists. (That is one of the most dangerous professions out there!)
Meg "for all seasons".
You certainly rise to every occasion😁
What lovely young men to have cared and tried to do what they could.
That was a handful and a half dear Meg.
So well accomplished.
Lovely lady that you are😘
I want to write another comment to thank the lovely arborist for taking care and protecting those little batties
The arborist was a bat aficionado. Everyone was very helpful and caring. I'm really glad the rest of the micros have survived to swear another day. 🦇
Quite vociferous wee survivors, and foul mouthed at that! Yay for survivors. They are so cute. Let's hope the escaped ones are okay. RIP li'l hurt non-survivor. 💞🦇
Yay!!! On all counts! The Arborists! The groundskeeper (for taking you there) You for going out all dressed up!! and the Bats!!! We love that they have survived!
They look like a walnut grew wings and an angry face. I like to call the microbats "sky pom-poms"
Lol🖤🇨🇦
I had 2 micros I called Rosy Pompom and Pippi Pompom
I think the boys enjoyed your flirting…good thing you didn’t have to go up a tree in your dress. These are lovely big Gouldies, with awesome teeth and battitude. I loved the one who was sizing you up from the edge of the bag…the first to fly off.

Meg isn't a golfing person. Or a sports person. Or anything which smacks of green grass and chasing balls.

I think he said one of his work mates thought they laid eggs…but it IS a rather strange mental image lol.🖤🇨🇦
LOL, Australia has mammals which lay eggs. They're called Monotremes; platypus and echidnas
@@Megabattie They are very cool animals…and what better name for babies than “puggles “ could there ever be?🖤🇨🇦
Adorable little ones I love Gould W. so much!! 2 batties flew off, I hope they are fine now!!!
Hi Sonia…exactly what you said.🖤🇨🇦
@@tamarrajames3590 Hi Tamarra. How are you??? Last week I got Australian Flu now i' m well, 3 days with fever but now it' s over!!!
Glad you're better now Sonia

Always yay for survivors!
Tricky little buggers, remind me of our little brown bats, and those that escaped, I swear he was laughing. Awesome Meg 🍁 🦇🇨🇦
The problem is that the ones who escaped will probably go really flat after the adrenaline wears off. All the others have.
Your driver was appropriately impressed with your TH-cam renown!

I'm with you on the golf, boring. My boyfriend loves playing though, lol. Those are the size of the bats that love our "attic" in the summer.
I winced every time you put another bat in that pouch, Meg. I kept expecting one of the bats was waiting to provide “a new experience in pain.” 😬 I’m glad you have fast reflexes.
aparently they cant bite through latex gloves, or is it vinyl gloves?
@Penguin Overlord LOL they can bite through them, but they're not supposed to be able to bite through nitrile gloves; these gloves were not even latex just plastic. That's all that were in the car.
I didn't expect them to bite me; they didn't.
@@Megabattie their little faces are priceless.
Also I am absolutely DYING LAUGHING at the one guy talking about "they lay eggs, I dunno" 😆😂🤣👻
They are so tiny & adorable.
Little people in a bag
Have you been bitten by a microbat? Those teeth do look painful.
Anyway, it's great that the arborist cared so much and saved their lives. Hopefully the two escapees weren't injured, but they flew well.
No, never been bitten by a fangy micro, though Maggie has (she thought they were harmless)...

why do you were gloves when handling micro bats
I think they are special gloves the bats can’t bite through…but I bet they can still hurt a finger if they try.🖤🇨🇦
