Rolypoly part 2: huge Grey-Headed Flying-Fox in care.

Rolypoly is an adult male Grey-Headed Flying-Fox who was noticed on the ground, then climbing up a fence. On a previously empty road Rolypoly chose to fly across the road as soon as a motorcyclist zoomed by. He hit the cyclist, not the bike, and ricocheted off onto the road, where he was herded back to the verge garden by the lovely mop Zane, who then kept him from kamikaze-ing onto the road every time a car passed, until I arrived. He was hanging off the handlebars of a Lime Bike (an e-bike franchise for inner city travel). Of course he headed further into the verge garden and I had to chase him, and prevent him from scampering across the road again, but he wasn't difficult to catch. He's quite large so he has been difficult to handle; his neck is huge with lots of loose scruff and I have broad hands with short fingers, which makes control of such a large boy challenging. When I got him home and weighed him he weighed in at just over 1 kilogram, which is huge for a Grey. He's obviously been bulking himself up for breeding season. He wasn't a happy chappie in any way, screaming at me and making life difficult; the only injury I can find is a tiny tear in one eyelid. By day 2 he was quiet and cooperative and much easier to handle, however by night 2 when I had him hanging, he attempted escape, and was incredibly annoyed with me when I prevented him from launching himself over my living area. Very vocally annoyed, plus wielding his teeth hoping that he could make contact with me somewhere and inflict bloodshed. He ripped up his cage furnishings overnight, killed and flung all the grapes around the cage (not actually eating them), and upended his food bowl (also without eating anything). The next morning he was quite passive, so I managed to chip him and put a collar on him, transporting him to the carer with an internal aviary cage. I left him there, a little wonky, but dealing with hanging in the crowd. I hear he was hanging nicely when the carer arrived home, and and was part of the crowd. Rolypoly's name went through a few iterations before I finally decided. First he was just Lime Bike, then he was Bikie, then he was Kamikaze, then I looked up heavyweight Bikies, and came up with Comancheros and Bandidos, but it was only when handling him and noticing all his rolypoly scruff and fat that I settled on Rolypoly. 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). 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. jenny@tolgabathospital.org
