I saw a fruit bat on the wires in my garden this
am... after the figs and passionfruit I thought. Then about 15 cockies
arrived... very upset with the bat. They squawked at it, ran up and down
the wire... no response. Then one brave soul pecked its feet - no
response. Now I am suspicious that it is dead. They carried on for
some time trying to dislodge it. I then had to go out. When I
returned, there was no sign of bat or Cockies. I had a look and the bat
had fallen into the garden next door - very dead. I was quite
amazed at the behaviour. Has anyone else seen this?
