Rescuing a baby flying-fox on the ground: this is Finglas

Finglas is a 2 week old Grey-Headed Flying-Fox orphan who was found on his dead mum, on the side of the road. The member of public (MOP) who called noticed some movement so he assumed the mother was still alive even though she was face down on the ground. Apparently another neighbour had noticed movement on the ground a few hours previously and had seen the baby but didn't think to call for rescue, an omission which I find completely unfathomable. It's not an uncommon rescue scenario to be called for a flying-fox on the ground who is still alive, and come and find it's a dead mum with a live baby aboard. (try searching for Megabattie/rescuing Sultana for another example). I got some good quality phone footage of Finglas for this video, because he was such a good example of a wriggly baby under mum's wing. I suspect Finglas' mum had been dead for up to 48 hours. She had no milk in her nipples, since baby Fin would have drunk her dry. I think she was hit by a car and she crawled and climbed into the tree above, and died, and got blown out a day or so later. I called his mum Anna, because I just couldn't consign her to the vet's freezer without a name. Anna from Annandale. Finglas' name comes from Tolkien's fantasy world from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. I'm not sure which book because I haven't read any of them. The name is Finglas Leaflock, and leaflock means hairy leaves (I think). Anyway, Fin has the hairiest toes, so I immediately thought hairy, Finglas. That's how my brain works. Anyway, little Finglas has been rescued and saved, and although he had a few squidgy days on days 3-4, he's doing well now in care and is greatly loved by his carer. YAY, a survivor. Interesting story: I was given The Day of the Triffids to read as the first set work for my first year in high school. I had actually finished reading it before I got home from school that day - recess, lunchtime, in between classes, and waiting for the teacher to arrive (and probably reading during class as well). The second set work was The Hobbit, so I waded straight into it, and I couldn't get past the first chapter - I just couldn't get engaged. I didn't have a feel for this world and I didn't engage. So I never read it (but passed brilliantly because I just listened in class and spouted it all back for the exams). So that's my sum total of experience with Tolkien. I am probably missing something but I can't get past the first bits. I also didn't engage with the movies. Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for me. 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). https://tolgabathospital.org/donate/ 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. [email protected]
