No two are the same, each have distinctive personalities and ways they do things. Mandi's Sanctuary/ Aviary is a paradise for ALL these beautiful Bat/Flying Fox souls🦇🥰
They are so trusting and loving with their care givers. Such incredible creatures. Every single thing about them is wonderful. Their looks from head to toe. The way they act. The sounds they make. The way they eat. Did I mention the cuteness? I can't stand it. I love them.
Watching sleepy Gelert with big big yawns 💕💕💕💕 so cute I still can’t believe how affectionate they are, and how they love to be massaged and loved on. It is so cool. Teddy’s squeaks when scratched or so, so cute I would love to know what they are thinking, at least they are enjoying their time before being released. Jackie is so pretty and Meep so cute. I love how protective Primrose is of her baby, what a great mother. It’s so cool that they can be loved on and handled and still be released. I just think that is so wonderful. Thank you to all rescuers, and for educating us about these wonderful fascinating creatures.
Thank you for sharing❤️🦇Sooo adorable💕And I cannot emphasize enough the love, devotion and dedication that goes into the care for these gorgeousnesses❣️❣️❣️
It has been such a horrible day, then I click on this notification and I've been smiling ever since. This made my day. Its amazing to watch Mandi loving on each batty and she know each one and how they liked to be touched. I love to hear Meep's adorable Meep.
She's a Little Red - they're not as fluffy, though I don't know why, since they live out west and it gets very cold there at night, so they all huddle up together in clumps. I guess because it also gets really hot out there, they use combined body heat in winter so they can be cooler in summer, though why they don't grow winter coats and shed them in summer is something I can't figure out.
So much to love about this video. I’m especially fond of the way Gelert tucks his wings about him while lounging in his hammock. He looks like nature’s perfect little tamale.
What a wonderful tour! Thank you to Mandi for filming that. I love watching them scurry across the top of the cage. The remind me of spiders, only less horrifying.
I love how some of the older ones don't mind a scritch while the younger one prefer to retain their wariness. But you can see personality and group battie behavior in such a great amount. It's wonderful. And Mandi must have the memory of an elephant to keep up with all their names. She is so good to them.Thanks Meg for sending this out.
It depends on whether the bats are hand raised or not, or how long the've been in care. Primrose is a wild bat and tends, like most Little Reds, to be skittish. BeeBee's baby Gunner is essentially wild because he was raised by BeeBee.
A lovely meet-and-greet. In addition to the highlights pointed out in the captions and the description, I think that the way Gelert had himself bundled up so tightly scores pretty high on the cuteness meter.
Never seen a more stunning collection of thunderdomes!! They are all glorious, as well as the gorgeous boys and girls in this vid. Thank you for all you do!!💗🥰🇮🇹🤗🦇
Cuteness overload!! ❤️ I'm really glad Teddy seems to be doing so much better than he was, it was wonderful to hear him happy-squeaking in this clip. And Gelert all bundled up in his wings just had me grinning like crazy. Same with his very enthusiastic "flight" at the beginning. It is really amazing all the hard work Mandi puts in making them happy, and her efforts really do show in videos like this one. ❤️❤️❤️
They all have such large personalities, it is a joy to visit with them. I haven’t heard Teddy’s little pleasure squeaks since Walter...it is wonderful to hear them again. They are well pampered, and clearly enjoy the contact and love of the carers. Jackie is a pretty little lady, and very sleek looking. When I’m ready for an old age home I wonder if Mandi would take me in. Thank you for brightening my day Mandi and Meg.🖤🇨🇦
We’re you scared of them at first or did you always love bats I got attacked by a bunch of them in a cave and I only went in there to get my frisbee I have been petrified of them since then and it’s been 30 years ago my daughter was 18 months old and I was pregnant with my son and they attacked me I almost lost my son I can’t stand it even seeing them or anything like that
@@lisajoyce6803 Are you asking Meg or Tamarra if we were scared of the bats? I'm Meg - no I wasn't scared of them as such. I decided to do rescue and care because I wanted to raise the babies. I learned to love the adults, though to begin with I was very wary of handling the adults because they can be quite aggressive. I'm sorry your experience with bats 30 years put you off. You probably disturbed a roost and they were all flying around in a panic. Did they really attack you and come at you, or were they just flying around your head and scared you? Are you still scared now? Or are you starting to see their charms on this channel?
@@Megabattie no they really attacked me and I was very pregnant with my son and I was high risk with my pregnancy both of my kids I upset the mums in the cave they were filled with babies so I understand why they came at me they were protecting their children but I went into early labor so they had to admit me to stop my labor I carried Mikey for another month and they had me to deliver my son He was 6 lbs 10 oz my daughter was a toddler then she witnessed me getting attacked and my then husband went after them with a badminton net but she was fascinated with vampires and vampire bats after that true story we had to keep her informed that mommy and Mikey would be okay my grandson who is 10 loves bats and vampires as much as his mom my daughter Melissa his name is Matt and he’s crazy about Batman so we call him Matt man we thought it was cute and other people do too. I do like watching your videos and wonder sometimes if I could get around them in a care clinic
I live in the United States and didn't know these incredible creatures existed. You are so kind and considerate. They clearly love you back. If ever I visited Australia (or new Zealand?), the first thing on my list to see as close as possible would be your country's flying foxes. I will upvote every video you provide. Edited to remove one of those damn emojies that creep into the text from time to time.
What lovely footage - there is something so relaxing watching their daily life and Mandi's soothing voice. I feel all warm and calm now : ) Thanks for sharing Meg and Mandi I needed that. ...I thought Jackie looked particularly beautiful today.
i just love them all! jacky remind me of redolent! nice to see copernicus again! last time i seen him was a year ago when i joined the channel an i thought he was the biggest bat around!
That was awesome! I love seeing all of the old timers and the new little ones as well.🦇❤ The personalities and the faces are too funny. Meep had such a face of injustice towards the thunder dome intruders😅
Hello, I'm here to apply for the professional bat scratcher position. I think you'll find my fingernails are in order. I have decades of experience in the field of canine and feline scratchery.
This was Extraordinary! How Does this Aussie Angel keep All those names straight!?! Quite impressive! Such Beautiful little people they are! I especially love Meep and the sound he makes! It's just the cutest thing ever.
They're all individuals with personalities. She knows where they hang out, with whom they hang, and what they like and dislike, because they're her permanent care bats. It's like you know all your family by sight - she knows all her batties by sight.
@@Megabattie oh! I didn't read the bottom. These are Permanently in care? No wonder! So very precious! Now I understand why the sling and the one with a deformed foot! Poor little Precious One!💔💔
She has licences for her permanent care bats, who are all animals unable to be released for various reasons. Can't fly, too old, brain damage, amputated bits, metabolic bone disease... whatever the reason.
@@Megabattie What's the procedure regarding babies of permanent care bats? I assume that at one stage they will be taken from their mums to be put into the release aviary?
"We, the 'Very Precious Bats', are just hanging out in the aviary. We love the paparazzi, and our fans love us and our Caretakers. Life is good!" ❤️🦇😌❤️
They're so gorgeous, well fed, and calm. I'm so glad they're living such a great life. On a side note, for some reason yesterday, u tube wouldn't let me access this video. Don't know why, just commenting to see if anyone else has has this sort of issue. It made me unhappy not to see my daily dose of bat on this channel.
I'm not sure I remember Whiskey, and the unusual eye pattern. What type is he? Just a gorgeous face and ruff ! Thanks for the great tour and video of a bunch o' bats !
Bats often do scratches when you stimulate specific areas around their neck and shoulders. They also do lickies - they might lick or yawn if you touch certain spots on them. It may be different with each bat.
I just LOVE watching them get caresses and scratchies ! ❤️
Cuteness overload! 😍
Thanks for sending Mandi's updates on all the bats in her care.
Thank you enormously, Mandi!
I love them all!
Thank you, dear Meg!
Thank you for the wonderful daily adventures love them 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖
Me goodness!!!! They're all just SOOOOOOOO STUNNING!! I love them so much 🥰🥰
I love to see these beautiful bats!! Thank you!!!
Their different looks and personalities so intrigue me. I enjoy these Dailies very much! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
No two are the same, each have distinctive personalities and ways they do things. Mandi's Sanctuary/ Aviary is a paradise for ALL these beautiful Bat/Flying Fox souls🦇🥰
Mandi is such a wonderful caregiver to all these precious older batties 💕💕💕💕
I'm a big fan of Meep😃🦇❤
I know, right? I've never heard any other bat make such notable noises!
@@RenGraes I love it when she asked: What's your name?And he said: MEEP
@@ew6300 Boop the nose~
Meep: *Meep!*
Boop your nose~
Meep: *Squeak-MEEP!*

Meep is awesome becuase meep can say meep lol but I love them all
thats it, drop everything except trousers, kettle on, make tea and relax for 6 n half minutes of batty bliss.
I'm glad you added the "except trousers", because otherwise I would have had to deal with an image in my mind...
@@Megabattie i watched Carry On Screaming last week, the line stuck with me :D
Such a beautiful group of bats!! All well loved and cared for!
I heard Meep today. I'm happy.
Thank you Mandi!
Thank you Meg!
01:56 these cute little shivers are what I live for 🦇🤏♥️
Thank you for sharing❤️🦇Sooo adorable💕And I cannot emphasize enough the love, devotion and dedication that goes into the care for these gorgeousnesses❣️❣️❣️
I just love them, oh Gelhert, your reminding me of Walter, miss him💗
I love them all. Thank for caring for them.🦇🦇💜💜
I'm glad they're safe.

I love to hear Meep's adorable Meep.
Pity Meep put us on a diet with this one :-)
Thank you for your kind heart. I love the old batties, and the way you care for them!
For all his ailments ,Gelert still has an impressive flap
Meep!
An evergreen comment!
💕Love all your batties🦇!! You are a good mama!!❤
They are all very social and adorable and I really like Jackie, she seems to have soft satin fur!
a short haired FF :)

@@Megabattie because evolution goes with "good enough," and not the best.
@@Megabattie Their range may have shifted south recently in evolutionary terms. They may develop thicker coats with time.
Oh my. Just looking at pin photo of bat yawning made me yawn.
now ive started.
I have a bird who yawns when I rub her ears. Then all I have to do to keep her yawning is to yawn myself and she goes on and on and on.
Love seeing Teddy 💕
What a great round up ! It was good to see Meep and he was quiet today 🤔
He was upset that he'd been ousted from the Thunderdome
@@Megabattie well, no wonder !!
Too funny 😂
So much to love about this video. I’m especially fond of the way Gelert tucks his wings about him while lounging in his hammock. He looks like nature’s perfect little tamale.
strong flappies yeah
Thanks Mandi for sharing; it's a great to wake up to these flappies.
Hail hail,the gang’s all here...and just as beautiful as ever.Thank you,Mandi...🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
What a wonderful tour! Thank you to Mandi for filming that. I love watching them scurry across the top of the cage. The remind me of spiders, only less horrifying.
I am in love with al the adorable batties 💖🦇💖🦇💖🦇💖 so nice all the names . You have a heart of gold ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'm glad to see Teddy is feeling better. He was so sad right after losing his best friend, Walter..
I love how some of the older ones don't mind a scritch while the younger one prefer to retain their wariness. But you can see personality and group battie behavior in such a great amount. It's wonderful. And Mandi must have the memory of an elephant to keep up with all their names. She is so good to them.Thanks Meg for sending this out.
It depends on whether the bats are hand raised or not, or how long the've been in care.
Primrose is a wild bat and tends, like most Little Reds, to be skittish. BeeBee's baby Gunner is essentially wild because he was raised by BeeBee.
THEY ARE ALL SO PRECIOUS.. I LOVE TOO HEAR TEDDY SQUEAK!!❤🦇😘❤😘🦇❤😘🦇🦇😘❤🦇😘❤❤🦇😘
So lovely! Thank you ladies🙏😍🦇
A lovely meet-and-greet. In addition to the highlights pointed out in the captions and the description, I think that the way Gelert had himself bundled up so tightly scores pretty high on the cuteness meter.
Aww they're all gorgeous 🦇🦇🦇🦇 stunning creatures. Thanks for the video, it's great to see them all at the aviery. Blessings from Scotland. 🙏🏴🌹
Although there is nothing sweeter then the pure innocence of the babies. I adore this group. They are a precious group.
I loved walking through with you (virtually), Mandi! Meeting all the bats and seeing how they love you. Gosh, someone had the sneezes!
Adorable thumb hug in the first view. Also I see that the battles have a paddle point like dogs! They are all so lovely.💕
Do you mean their scratchie spot?
Some of them remind me of my German Shepherd puppy. When I find her spot, she starts scratching, too.
They are all so special, in their uniqueness, & you can tell how cared for & loved they are by you ... 💖💗😍🙏👏🙆🦇🦇🦇🦇
By Mandi. Meg is a full day’s drive (Queensland) from Mandi’s farm, iirc. Meg has a map showing where her bat friends live and where she is (Sydney).
All beautiful adorable bats but I love seeing and hearing Meep the most 😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful ❤️
Thank You 🙏
Whiskey is extremely adorable 🥺
I love the Mandi’s aviary footage. Thank you Mandi.
I love Mandi’s videos too!! The more the merrier 😁❤️🦇❤️👶🦇
Never seen a more stunning collection of thunderdomes!! They are all glorious, as well as the gorgeous boys and girls in this vid. Thank you for all you do!!💗🥰🇮🇹🤗🦇
The way Cinders hugged Mandi back with her thumb just made me so happy. These little creatures are capable of so much love.
They are all so wonderful. I wish them all the best. Thank You for looking after them.
❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗nice job Mandi, really nice job. They love you
I heard Meep. Glad to hear he is still doing good.

@@Megabattie What's the procedure regarding babies of permanent care bats? I assume that at one stage they will be taken from their mums to be put into the release aviary?

So for bats, when there hanging upside down, up is down and down is up until they fly and then up is not down and down is not up.
For bats, live is as it is; don't overthink it; they don't.
