Outraged baby flying-fox is rescued: this is Dingo

- This video is a compilation of videos of Dingo (from 2017), from rescue until he left my care.
He was possibly one of the most outraged babies I've ever rescued, and continued his complaints (about everything including my deodorant and the weather) for three quarters of the way home.
Dingo is an 11 week baby Grey-Headed Flying-Fox who crash landed on a tiny balcony and stayed there for 2 days, until the homeowner realised he was unable to leave.
Bats can't stand up so they have great difficulty getting out of enclosed spaces, and given that he was unable to climb the balcony to get enough height to fly off, he was stuck there.
It had been really hot the previous 2 days so he was quite dehydrated.
Most baby or juvenile flying-foxes who come into care are inexperienced and don't know how they're supposed to behave. They vary from extremely passive behaviour, to total screaming outrage. Dingo fell into the latter category. He complained about everything, then fell into the slump which follows a toddler sobbing fit and went quite flat and passive. He just ran out of oomph.
Babies/juvies of this age are treated like babies until they feel they are ready to be treated as big kids again. They suffer an emotional crisis and need time to regroup and feel safe. It usually takes a few days for them to come good and reassert their individuality.
Dingo was no exception; he joined the Hielander in the cage, then they were both joined by Tutti Frutti a few days later, a little female who was lightly tangled in horrible fruit netting. Fortunately her injuries were minimal, and the 3 of them coexisted in the cage for a few days until they were all ready for aviary care.
Dingo was up, up and away as soon as he sniffed the freedom of the aviary. Once he regained his mojo he was into everything and quite a confident little person.
I love success stories.

It’s remarkable how these highly intelligent and social animals allow you to take the place of their mother, not only feeding them but “licking,” toileting and cuddling them, until they are ready to move on into a batty community. Loving them saves them, as happens with human babies.
I've been amazed how similar all our little furry friends are. I keep drawing parallels between Meg's bat videos and my experience with squirrels.
"Dingo": One of the All Time Greats in the annuls of bat reality t.v.
It's so amazing how you gently handle them and give them fluids and grapes. You are so loving and caring with all these bats. Love seeing your videos.
I actually like outraged babies, but feel bad at the same time; relieved that Meg is there to help them.
If I remember right that's sort of a good thing. If they don't fight back there's probably something really bad going on.
It depends on the baby and what stage they're in. If they've given up then they're quiet and just let it happen - the adrenaline of the accident has worn off and they've tried to escape without success so they've basically given up.
If they're fairly newly discommoded, then they still have some feist and can must it and the adrenaline to try to escape again. I love it when they try to scare me off - it's such a defiant thing to do when they're so small and at such a disadvantage. I'm duly impressed at their display and give them full credit for their bravado.
And it depends on what they've damaged during their mishap.
@@Megabattie I have been observing for a while and realized the same thing you wrote and i also love when they yell at you telling you to go away.
This baby was prepared to put up a big fight for his life. Brave little fella.
Dingo is still my favourite of your rescues. He had such personality and his fear and bewilderment was heartwrenching. Watching him slowly settle under your care was wonderful.
That's the general pattern of the older babies. Outrage (fear and stress and bravado) then sookiness then acceptance.
Dingo was one of my faves - along with the Hielander and Tutti Frutti
DINGO! He's arguably my favorite as well. I mentioned this fact a few months ago and got a reply from Meg. What I forgot to say last time was I DIED at the end when he closed himself into his cage as if to say "I can get out and get back in again all by myself and there's nothing ou can do about it Mom". I needed this today! Thanks
@@daynashallenberger6256 Yes, I loved that bit. Walter used to do it as well, and Bitey Banjo too.
i wonder whats on their mind when they understand that u r feeding them instead of eating them.
Mistrust, then trust, then acceptance and the reemergence of their personality. They begin to feel so totally secure they explore and become naughty and know you're not going to hurt them.
@@Megabattie I do admit I kind of like the naughty stage. Escaping the cage, and hiding behind it was cute.
@@KindCountsDeb3773 is this the one that escaped?
@@Ladypuppy510 well, there have been others and Meg has one that really got out and hid. But, this battie squeezed out thru the bars, went behind the cage and hung. So cute. !
Baby FF: "Don't eat me! Don't eat me! Don't eat me! Don't eat me! Don't eat me! Don't ......."
Later: "Hey! She didn't eat me. This isn't too bad. Rub my tummy again please."
They go through all the stages - crash land and find themselves trapped. Anger and fear with adrenaline giving them bravado to scream their frustration out at you and try to scare you off. Then fear at the unknown and terror making them passive, then gradual trust because you're showing them no reason not to trust, then acceptance and then the reemergence of their personality so they can self direct (getting out of the cage to hang outside).
@@Megabattie seemed like he needed just a little bit more Mum after his outrage, more comfort. You and food seemed to bring him around. sweet.
@@KindCountsDeb3773 He needed some time and security and stability, and he got it by pretending to be harmless and a total baby until he'd sussed out the lie of the land, the routine and how my place worked. Then he availed himself of the facilities, then he got daring and asserted himself. I love that
@@Megabattie Yes, him getting more daring is a great sign and you do appreciate the sassy ones as much as any other. Well done !
Look to me like he was ready to brawl with Meg
Love the compilation showing his transformation from outraged to depressed to getting his sassy attitude back. He really was quite the character. Hope he's doing well from himself out there! ❤️
me too
The batties are remarkable, it's like once they get settled down, they become human babies. They are lovely. 💖💖
he wanted to speak to ALL the managers
Amazing how fast Dingi went from cursing at you to being comfortable around you. Hope he is still out there and doing well
I cracked up when he closed the cage door lol
😂😂🤣
When you peeked around the corner after finding the escape artist,and said “Hello,sweetheart”...he actually waved a hello,back at you.
Dingo stole and melted my heart.I was smiling through teary eyes.I just adore these beautiful creatures.Thank you,Meg.❤️🦇🍇
I remember Dingo. He was a little stinkball. I hope all three bats are big, strong, and have lots of children.
The Hielander didn't make it, but he was always really iffy from the beginning. I was surprised he lasted as long as he did.
@@Megabattie Ah, I thought he looked confident and might be alright. RIP
Sigh...
Breaks my heart to hear him cry and scared. But, warms my heart so to see him comforted. Thank you for your hard work and compassion.❤❤
OH his precious eyes the way he's looking up at you! Wee fuzzy wuzzy ❤
My fave bit was when he saw me peer around to the back of the cage and he just waved his wing at me as if to say - the view is better from here
@@Megabattie thank God for you Meg❤❤🌿🍃💐🌱🦇
@@debrajohnson3834 Thanks god for batties and YT
Outraged batties are my favourite! Such personality and attitude from them. Love seeing the transition from them screaming obscenities at you to trusting you.
My ears are still ringing and I only got the recording !! lol
He looks so worried/ scared in his eyes when he looks at u..so sad!! He misses his mommy!
I can't get enough of Dingo the Defiant. A real prince of a bat. Royalty even. Meg's right in doting on him, and putting him in his place when he's naughty. The strait jacket serms severe but since the dauphin craves the bottle sometimes physical restraint is for his own good. Scrawny little defiant one probably needs the force feeding too. What a national treasure!!
Oh bless his raging little heart!!😭🦇💕Thank you so very much for rescuing, rehabilitating and loving this precious little boy Dingo🥺🥰
God bless you for your help and kindness to these beautiful animals Ann 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
Awwwwww! I think he’s more frightened than enraged. Poor little soul. 😥
I call it outrage because he wasn't injured, so he was both scared and trying to scare me off with his bravado and display of scariness, and I like to think it is the outrage of life he's displaying.
However there is a vid where the bat is actually outraged because his airer was altered so he couldn't get stuck. Let me think what I called it and if I find it I'll post the link. I just have to remember the bat's name.
Ahh I found it - my filing system depends on me remembering the name: He wasn't loudly outraged but he was definitely chucking a tanty.

Oh, my, Dingo was really outraged, poor sweetheart. So glad that he survived and was able to be released. Oh, Meg, thanks so much for taking care of Dingo.
I remember when you rescued him. One of my favorite outraged babies
This made me cry this morning, happy tears though. We're so blessed to have animals like these and they are blessed to have you to tend to their injuries and mother them when needed. You're an exceptional person. Blessings from Scotland. 🙏🏴🌹
Thanks Eve
This was pleasant to watch. The good old days when the babies often survived.
🦇 🍇
What do you mean? Do they survive less often now?
I love how you take care of their emotional well-being too ;__; he is so cute, wrapped up with the bear.
If the batties are feeling more secure, they can heal better and aren't as stressed. It's in everyone's interest for them to be more secure.
Oh bless Dingo's heart!🥺🩶🦇💕💕 As you say Meg, "the outrage of life!". Thank you for saving this little man Bat, I'm so very glad he is a survivor!🥰
Once he got over his angst and distress he was a total sweetie, if a little headstrong.
@@Megabattie Bless you Meg👱💕💕 and bless Dingo too!!🥺🩶🦇💕💕
Watching this video again, Dingo looked so worried when he was first rescued. His eyebrows looked like he was terrified. Now he seems like a confident little battie. I love being able to watch that transformation. He is so gorgeous!
Your videos are so uplifting and makes my heart swell with gladness ❤ sweet little creatures! You’re so loving and kind! God bless you and the work you do! ❤❤❤
Too cute! At one point he really had those sad puppy eyes that melt hearts 😍
What a little character he is. It was fun to see him go from scared and worried puppy dog eyes to eyes brimming with confidence and curiosity. Darling boy.
Dingo is so adorable, even if he is cranky! Nice to see that he is healthy and healing and looking very well! Glad all went well during his stay in care! Hope he has lots of bat girlfriends and they make lots of bat babies!♥️🦇♥️🦇♥️🦇♥️🦇♥️🦇♥️🦇♥️🦇♥️🦇♥️🦇♥️🦇♥️🦇♥️🦇♥️🦇
He'll be a daddy by now for sure. Maybe even a new granddaddy
The outraged baby Dingo.has turned into a completely adorable cuddle-loverbug!😆❤️🦇
So heartbreaking to hear his screams. Thank God this wonderful woman saved him.
Battyburrito calms everyone down
Aww so adorable 😊❤
The world needs more human beings like you. ❤
LIKE me is the operative word; the world doesn't need more Megs - that would be very very scary.
What a wonderful compilation. Dear Dingo: from stranded brave little one to sooky baby boy, back to brave little confident batty. ❤🦇
Poor baby boy, it’s a blessing to watch your careful attention for these little ones.
Amen!
What a joy it is to watch a little, happy baby. You rock little man. 🦇🦇💜😀
What an absolute cutie! Oh, that marvelous milky yawn! How lovely to see that age survive! Thanks, Meg!
Historical footage though, you know. It's a compilation of the videos from his story
@@Megabattie I know, but it is still special to see survival! I remembered the name because I thought it was such a hoot to name a bat Dingo! :)
@@helenscott8202 I have called a bat Monkey, and a bat Squirrel and a batty Sparrow, and a batty Raven. I'm sure I've called them by other animal names (oh yes, Zebra from the Zebra Bar - such noice MOPs), but I'll have to think on the other animal names I've called them.
I know someone who called their baby Jessica Rabbit. Oh yes, I called one Ducky as well (from the duck pond)
@@Megabattie well, I had a neighbor that named their dog ‘Cat’ because the kid was determined that would be the dog’s name. But I missed most of your other fun names. But somehow, Dingo seems especially great (except the bat is a vegan).
@@helenscott8202 Ah, not quite vegan - the bats will opportunistically eat insects if they serve themselves up on a plate.
Yay, Dingo! Thanks for giving us several updates at once Meg; he's a such a handsome young beastie!
@9:15 "OK, these are the rules, there is NO climbing on Meg's face" 💖🦇💖... I loved this video, because it showed the longevity of the rescue from start to release. Dingo, Hielander and Tutti Frutti= Three Amigos...And I love Dingo, what a sweet lil one he is 💖🦇
I am trying to do some compilations of the bats from rescue till they go out of my care.
Re-Re-watching 05-24-24, your wonderful rescue of Dingo. He was very outraged with life but your excellent care saved him!🥺🩶🦇🤗💕💕🥰
LOL he was a funny boy; he and Tutti Frutti were little houdinis together.
So cute. And happy they are alive to tell the tale.
Ohhh Dingo!!! You are in good hands!!! Be strong! 🙏🏻🦋
Historical footage Laura - the description has the info but this is a compilation of old footage because it's happy and there are so few rescues at the moment (which is good for the batties) that I have nothing new to put up from current rescues. I still do have some back files I haven't gotten through but when i look at them I don't feel the urge.
@@Megabattie
Wonderful! Thank you so much. I think one of my faves was Banshee🦋
They are adorable. They just need love and care. Blessings from Silvana from South America Uruguay 🇺🇾
Hi Silvana
Are you new to my channel?
Welcome to Megabattie.
I put information in the descriptions under the videos - so if you have questions, look for the answers there first. I put the fate of the animal if I know it, in the descriptions. I also put updates there later if I find out what happened to the animal after it has left my care.
There is also a Happy Outcomes playlist if you want to only watch videos where the bat survives.
You can find further videos on an individual bat by searching in the YT search bar for Megabattie/and the name of the bat you want to follow.
There is a community tab (like a mini Facebook page) on my channel - if you go to Megabattie home page, there is a menu bar across the top under the cover pic. Home, Videos, Playlists, Community, About. If you click on the community tab there are posts there where I can share pix and talk about some of the videos I put up and answer questions.
Ohh, poor honey 😢 So upset💔 Meg, you are their angel😇
He even looks worried. His brows are furroughed. Poor little fellow is in goods hands now.
This is priceless to watch you with the bats. God bless your heart.
I remember The Escape! It was one of my favorites. And a lot of opinions in the background.
They are SO beautiful thank you so much for all you do for these magnificent little animals 💜
Dingo is a champ ! Such an independent little fella, loved that yogurt face, as you put it ridiculously adorable ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember the Dingo story, such an adorable boy =)
Such expressive eyes on his beautiful little face.
Amazing ! Dingo adjusted quite well with the other babies.. glad to see another successful survivor.. yay Meg 👍❤️🦇🦇🦇🦇
The Hielander was in care first and had been for at least a week before Dingo arrived. Then when Tutti Frutti arrived in care, she did a lot better because there were other babies in care for her to socialise with in her new and scary environment. She didn't have such an emotional crash as did Dingo. And the Hielander was dealing with his own serious issues so he wasn't much help as a buddy.
A lovely little one, every successful story, brings hope for their species.
Re-watching the rescue of Dingo, the king of outrage in this video. I have so much RESPECT for you Meg and ALL you do!!!🥺🦇💕
He was such a funny boy, specially later when he was joined by Hielander and Tutti Frutti; his favourite thing was to skinny/shimmy out of the cage between the bars and hide behind the cage
@@Megabattie🤗🦇💓
Poor Dingo ! He sounds so scared ! I'm glad he's in your care . He's safe with you 💚
Awww I remember this lil fellow! 😍😍😍💋
Well, he sure thinks he's been grossly offended and feels he should tell the world. Poor little man. I enjoyed your explanation of a juvie in this state of mind. It makes it clearer why he is not calming down as soon as some rescues. Or maybe he's offended by "tiny little penis" and not letting THAT slight go. lol It's sweet to see a success story, from not that long ago, and his recovery. Thanks Meg !! p.s. sweet to hear the cockatiels song in the background.
the outrage is strong with this one 😮
indeed
Yogurt face at 13:34 is one of the cutest things I've ever seen ❤️
Yes, it was. I wonder how they clean themselves up when coated like this. The tongue is only some help. Maybe they rub it?? Don't have Mom anymore to do it when in the wild.
They really aren't all that different from people, are they? Sometimes I still feel like I need a bit of babying myself when I feel stuck in a rut. It's thanks to the love and care that they receive from you and the other batty folks that they're able to both physically and emotionally recover from their accidents.
I suspected this was older, and then read the description. They've moved that. Don't know if I care for it. Oh well. RUclips does what they want. Anyhoo this was a thoroughly entertaining video all the way thru! You talking to Dingo and his various replies depending on his level of growth...or attitude was hilarious and lovely. Thanks Meg🙏🤣🦇🌺
Your channel definitely has the feel good factor.😊. I love watching these cuties get rescued & nursed.
Thanks Frenzy; it has a feel good factor until a bat dies then people don't like it so much.
Many bats don't survive; I write the outcomes if I know them at the time of the video, in the description.
😭❤️ pacifier!! ABSOLUTELY adorable!! Thank you for loving and caring! I've never seen or heard of them!❤
They're the most amazing animals and the more you care for them the more you learn and the more you want to learn and do this. I accidentally fell into this work 17 years ago when I joined wildlife rescue to rescue and care for parrot chicks during the spring chick season; I never actually rescued a parrot but now rescue bats exclusively.
@@Megabattie Thank you so much for commenting back to me! The little bottle You have a huge heart ♥
@@snowwhite7571 I try to answer comments but I only see the comments on comments if you're a public subscriber; if you ask a question on another person's thread and I don't answer you or reply, then I most likely haven't seen the question. Just start your own thread and I should see it.
I hate to see them in such distress! They are just so scared!! The stress they go through can’t be good for them! It’s heartbreaking!
Dingo is adorable- so glad you were able to save him and he survived 😊👍💕
AWE!!! I am so happy Dingo improved so much!
Dingo was fine - he was just going through the various stages of acceptance of care.
Thanks for replaying Dingo. Still one of my favorites
He was one of my faves as well. Engaging little guy
I'm glad this precious baby has someone to take care of. Thank You for All You do😉💕
Oh, that’s definitely outrage. Wonder if it’s more fear or pain?
For him it was fear and bravado. I call it the outrage of life.
It's like he's really angry and saying "how dare you?"
God bless you and your efforts to care for the animals. God bless you🙏🏻❤️
What little treasures they are. Love it when their mischievousness comes into play🥰
This woman sure knows bats! She is so kind and natural with them. I wish I could see her face.
Hi Rebecca
I'm Meg, Megabattie.
You get to see my face in various videos; I put up a vid a few days ago where I was face to camera. It was one of the Dionysus videos. Try watching all those ones (there are about 4 or 5 I think); it would have been the second last one, right at the very end after the disclaimer screen.
Dingo the Defiant and the Teddy Bear. What a triumphant comedy and inspiration for a children's book. And Dingo's escape from Meg's gilded prison is a good idea for the plot....as long as there's a reunion with all the other prisoners of from the royal court!!
Very good woman ,with a great heart for animals ❤👏 fair play to herself, GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏
This is my favourite video I’ve seen from your channel, I’m in love with dingo. What a gorgeous little guy
Poor, traumatized little thing. You dod such a FANTASTIC JOB saving these little guy's ❣
He was very upset and outraged by his current situation. He turned into a snuggle bunny, then he turned into a feral teenager when he got a buddy with whom he could unite in defiance of his captor.
Dingo is gorgeous. I love how he seemed to be closing the door of the cage so you can't get in.
I wish I lived in Australia so I could look after flying foxes they are so sweet
Just love him, he is outraged..oh my gosh such a sweet face…a beach flyer (sigh) soon all the girls will be after him. Thank you Miss Meg, really good job. He loves you.
They already are - he's probably a father by now. This is historic footage compiled into one video from 2017.
That was amazing. He is beautiful and your care giving is so loving. Thank you for sharing.
They are so cute, thank you for helping them😊
What a sweetheart! You know they are so grateful for being rescued and loved. You treat them with such care and attention and sweetness. Thank you for taking care of these beautiful babies. 🦇 ❤️
Such a shoutu, scared response! Poor little love, to be so terrified
Yah! Survive and thrive! He is so cute. Thank you for all you do for the bats.
He is like, "Man this is alright. I am digging this baby stuff."
Applied loving, with knowledge and skill. Thank you Megabatty. I am learning a lot. And I love the success stories.
A happy story at last, you are a wonderful caregiver to the battles!
This is historical footage Sheila. It's not baby season at the moment but I'm finding some of my fave babies and I'm using the footage and compiling vids of their time in my care.
Everything I rescue dies and there are few rescues happening at the moment, so in order to give you a daily video I'm searching for material and putting it together in different ways.
Dingo: "Leave me alone, lady! I'm not bothering you! What is that you're trying to make me drink? It's nasty!!! Quit trying to look at my private bits! My head hurts! Just 'cause I'm not scramin' at you doesn't mean I like you! Mmm...what's this in the bottle? Whaddy'ya mean I can't climb on your face?"
This is me laying down some bat smack on this blanket
This is so touching and heartwarming. I've spent Christmas and New Year watching these videos and just soaking in the feel-good. Thanks!
In the span of a couple of hours, Dingo reverted from most ferocious juvenile in history to cowering newborn. Really love how he eventually returned to his present-day self once he began to trust and realize that he was safe.
I rescued a very very cranky Black baby today who is outraged by her life and situation. She may have even beaten Dingo for sustained outrage.
What a little sweetie!
Awww poor Dingo is so very upset. They are so sweet
I've said it before because it's true - you ROCK,Meg!
What a little cutie they all were! We need some more survivors stories like these in present day. ❤️🦇❤️🦇❤️🦇❤️
You see the sadness and pain in his eyes at 4:38. So glad he recovered
