Luna is juvenile female Grey-Headed Flying-Fox who was found in a suburban backyard hanging on the clothes line.
The family was very concerned about her and that she wasn't hanging with her wings neatly wrapped around her, and called for rescue.
From her hanging position in the photo they sent me, I could immediately see that she had a head injury and was 4 point hanging (both thumbs and both feet), which indicates she was feeling very dizzy.
I took her home, did the usual fluids, analgesia, glucose, eye goop and bed rest but she was dead a few hours later.
RIP little Luna, gone too soon.
I'd like to thank Harper, Edie and Norah for the lovely artwork they made me to indicate what has been happening to my pens (the bats are stealing them of course, and hanging out in my tree laughing at me). I particularly liked Harper's pic which includes Luna just hanging out in the tree with the other pen thieves.
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.
