Mandi stops her fruit chopping to check out the visitors to the outside of the aviary.
There are a few bats who are availing themselves of the free buffet hung on the outside of the cage for any of the releasees who are doing it tough and need a few extra calories. Two of them are banded which indicates they have been in care at some stage and it's likely they're hand raised and have been released from Mandi's aviary.
Segue, on the inside of the aviary, is being rude to the visitors on the outside and telling them off.
Mandi's wellingtons (waterproof gum boots) are making farty noises as she squelches through the grass.
Hazel, Divabelle and Jackiemake an appearance.
Segue is busy watching the outside freeloaders, still unhappy about their presence.
Florentine and Sapphire share a bucket.
Reuben then Meep pop in for a chat. Meep gifts us with his MEEPness.
Divabelle photobombs.
Divabelle and (???) maybe Hibiscus have a play fight and are told to be nice; it seems that Hibiscus was the instigator of this altercation.
Meep is busy eating and fails to be disturbed by the argument in front of him.
Whiskey and Hazel nom nom on banana peels.
There's some lovely time lapse video of some of the batties in the release cage hatch.
I've included some repeat footage of Dippy doing speed graping, and Jackie doing some very appreciative grape nom noms, for those who haven't previously seen it.
Thanks Mandi for the footage.
This footage is given in thanks for the continuing donations which help support the fruit costs for her bats.
Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for Mandi.

Mention Megabattie or Meg in the PayPal message box and the money will find its way to Mandi
If no message box appears, please email Jenny to tell her that the money is for Mandi.
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. If you specify the amount donated, it makes it heaps easier for Jenny to find the donation.
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.
