You do realise that Grey-headed flying-foxes are listed as Vulnerable to Extinction? That they are a keystone species, pollinators and seed dispersers? The forests need them and so do we.

They are not an infestation. Whatever happened to journalists doing proper research?

And yes, I live right near a colony and manage to cope!
