Walking down the north pier last night and we stumbled onto this (mama and her pup?) Does any one know if they were okay? Wasn't sure what we should have done if anything.

I took a short video but I can't upload that too

Relocating bat colony? -VA

Hello, does anyone have any tips or tricks to relocating the bat colony from our barn to an outdoor bathouse?

The barn has been unused for many years but we are revamping it and getting some new animals. We have a colony of about 20 bats that live in there and we love our bats just not when they poop excessively in the main walkway of the barn.

There is a big tree just outside the barn that we want to put a bathouse on but we have no idea how to make it known to the bats that we would like them to move into it.

Any tips?

We are located in northern Virginia if that changes anything.

This was drawn in Colors! 3D on my 3DS XL. I'll do this again next week around the same time. Hope you guys enjoy! Any criticism is helpful.

It landed right behind me as I was sitting down and I thought it was a bird so I was trying to take a selfie. I'm not sure if it touched me but I don't think it did

Sorry for the swearing

I live near the coast of Texas. There is a roost of bats that lives in my apartment's ceiling, their exit being right beside my window. The bats don't bother me at all, in fact, I love watching them dive out in the evenings. But lately, I've noticed them chirping at all hours of the day. I'm just curious as to why? They don't come out til dark, but they're just being noisy lil fellas in their home. Not very considerate neighbors (they get a pass cuz they're so cute and they handle bugs).

I named "him" Bruce

Tal'ngay Dha'run is a very beautiful piebald/leucistic grey-headed flying fox that i have been obsessed with for awhile, but i realized I don't know if he is alive for unfortunately deceased. Google gives conflicting answers :( i know bats live longer in captivity, and Tal'ngay was born sometime around 2016. I'm not too sure if his condition would affect their life span.

Hi everyone, I would like to know your opinion about this Pendant I made.

What do you think about my results?

Bats are protecting one of the world’s most expensive nuts

They won’t stop appearing!!! This guy was freeloading right by the door of a classroom

We found a bat on the ground alive. I have brought him inside our RV into a bucket and some bedding. He is sleeping But could this be rabies?

3 bats 3 days in a row!!! It was really high up near the roof so I wasn’t able to get a good photo of it

I woke up to a bat being attacked by my cats in a room my son and I were sleeping in. Im so stressed. What do I do?

Curious about species of bat found dead on streets of Cincinnati OH.

Back to back bats, this guy was really high up on the wall and I hope flew away cause I came back like 20 something minutes later and he wasn’t there anymore

I am in the UK.

I woke up this morning with this bat hanging from the skylight (3 meters from the ground)

We can’t open the windows and I am not sure how to get him out.

Any ideas? Is he alive? Is he dead?

We haven’t been exposed.

I’ve called the Bats conservation trust in the UK asking If they have any volunteers to remove him, and they said they don’t in my area.

Ok before anyone goes up in arms I am going to make this very clear, I do not intend on going near the bats, I do not want to get rid of them, I solely want to migrate them out of a barn so we can fix the roof. I want the bats on our property. The more of them that I can keep around the better.

I want to build homes for them and migrate them outside of the barn to their new home, a mere 100ft away.

Is there anyone in this reddit who can help me or alternatively who can direct me to someone who can help?

Its an old barn in Southwest Wisconsin, think Madison area. The barn, center building in the photo I attached, used to be a dairy barn. The top part being a hay loft, the bats love to sleep right at the peak of the roof where all the boards meet. We no longer use the barn for anything other than storage so it doesn't see much human traffic, which I imagine is partly why they moved in to begin with. I don't blame them, its a tight safe area thats fully sealed and no way for any animals to get anywhere near them.

But we need to do a little work on the roof and more annoyingly, they shit all over our stuff and it reeks.

All I want to do is make a new home for them and when the time is right, set up the new ones and get the work done on the roof and hopefully get them to move to their new home.

I'm happy to do whatever people thinks makes sense. And if boarding up the barn and letting the bats figure it out on their own without human intervention than thats fine too. But I seem them flying around every single night without fail so it'd be nice to keep that.

These guys just keep popping up at my school and sleeping all day, so cool to see them
