Funny Turkey Hides From Rain! - Behind The Scenes in Mandi's Bat Aviary Working In The Pouring Rain

Working as a volunteer in a bat aviary means working in the sunshine and in rain. It's definitely not all "sunshine and lollipops" as Mandi says - lol!

Check out as the farm menagerie congregates around the bat aviary whilst work is going on in the rain. Wallace, an amazing American Turkey certainly doesn't mind strutting his stuff in the rain.

But one of his two females tries to preserve her dignity and keep her feathers dry...by sneaking under an umbrella. Well, a girl has to maintain her looks for her man, yes?... Hilarious!

MORE ABOUT MANDI'S BATS

Mandi has been a licensed bat carer for nearly 30 years. She lives in Southeast Queensland and cares for bats from her personal funds and any donations she may receive.

She looks after baby bats, orphaned bats, injured bats, and even geriatric bats who are allowed to live out their days in the blissful batty comfort of her loving care.

Mandi also actively supports other bat carers who need any form of assistance with their bats in care, including temporary in-house care if a carer is sick or needs to go away.

But being an individual carer and not a member of a Not-For-Profit wildlife organization, Mandi does not receive any form of government financial support or grant monies.

All funds are donated directly to Mandi for the bats in her care.

THANK YOU! ;-)
