Intro

Bono aged 25 days
Over the years I've been caring for Flying-foxes and Microbats, I've come to learn a lot of things. One is that a lot people believe the many untruths about them being circulated.

So I've decided to set up this blog in order to dispel the myths and provide information on all these truly wonderful and environmentally friendly animals.








On the last day of creation God had finished all his tasks,
He had some bits left over, what to do with these spare parts?
Some soft and downy fur and wings, exquisitely from silk.
"I'll make a loving creature and it's young shall drink it's milk.
It will live it's life so gently, not a thing shall it cause strife.
It will lick the vital nectar, and spread seeds that give us life
I'll make it in a family, with bonds complex and warm
Instinctively in unison, the night skies they will swarm"
And God gazed upon this creature and his soul was in its eyes
And he rested then, and sighed, at last, completely satisfied.
