Rescuing a baby flying fox dropped off at the office: this is Brooke
Brooke is a baby GreyHeaded FlyingFox around 10. 5 weeks old. She was found on the road by a wildlife rescuer and dropped into the wildlife office because she just happened to work in the same building. She s quite quiet and appears to have hit her head, which is standard for new flyers who have crashed landed somewhere. she took a couple of days before she perked up and decided she felt better. After a week she went into the creche cage for fast track early release. She s a wild baby who has experienced life in the colony and the wild. She knows the taste of wild foods and a little bit about how to find it. She will do well when she s released in about a month. Update: One month later, she is in the creche release aviary now on track for release when the hatch is opened.
