The Cairns Regional Council has been actively dispersing protected Spectacled Flying Foxes (SFF) from their roost trees at the Cairns Library for over 4 months now.
The original approval for this action was granted by the federal Environment Protection Agency (EPA) after council had stated that the action would only occur between May to September, so as not to interfere with the species’ breeding cycle. However the dispersal has inexplicably been allowed to continue well into birthing season.
Council workers have used LRADs, clapper boards and high powered torches to scare the flying foxes away. Many of the SFFs are heavily pregnant or carrying dependent pups.
Dozens of pups have been abandoned at the site as their mothers are unable to return for them whilst the dispersal activities continue.
At least 6 pups have now died in the trees at the library, and wildlife rescuers report an increase in deaths and rescues in the surrounding areas. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfLf8zsDB2Q

Megabats are very important pollinators and seed disperses of many native plants including Eucalyptus, figs, bush apples (Syzygium spp.), bush plums (Terminalia spp.), paperbarks, guerrillas, and fruits of many palm species. The seeds of some plant species (particularly those with white and green fruits) may only be dispersed by Megabats, meaning that these plants rely on Megabats in order to successfully reproduce.
It has been estimated that a single Megabat can dispense up to 60,000 seeds in a single night.
Megabats are also important for nutrient regeneration and nutrient cycling within the ecosystem.
Not only do they provide large quantities of fertilizer to the system, but they create gaps in the canopy which enables other plants to compete more effectively. For instance, some trees shade ground-dwelling plants and shrubs, preventing them from obtaining nutrients, light and rain. By creating a gap in the canopy, Megabats enable these plants to obtain more sunlight, rainfall and nutrients, thus promoting a more diverse plant community, with cascading benefits for many other animals and plants.

124 days n 129 days old. both are male black flying fox.
NOT PETS.
felix's mother and cause of separation is unknown.
fernandos mother was electrocuted on a power pole and died.
baby bats are known to survive an electrocution.... we dont know why.
as with all wildlife, hands and arms are sterilized before and after.
they both will be in care until they are ready for release.
