Re: HOW VENTILATE A FLYING DOG
Thumbs up.
In your case, I think even more pictures are mandatory.

Re: HOW VENTILATE A FLYING DOG
That's actually a good shot of something I dislike intensely, we have them here, there is a flying fox colony on the other side of the river in the mangroves, and at dusk they fly over in their thousands. They make a huge mess of the mango tree, the custard apple tree and the avocado trees in the yard with half chewed fruit scattered all over the place, so I know how I would like too ventilate them. (I used to 20 years ago but now the little darlings are protected).

Re: HOW VENTILATE A FLYING DOG
Yeah I guess, it's more your southerners ie. people from New South Wales, Victoria and the learned gentry (acedemics) from university (ie. places that don't have any) who went and studied them and found how "important" they were too the ecosystem..kaf kaf, that call them Giant fruit bats, we however who actually live with them and have too put up with them have been calling them flying foxes since before they were borne. Not that a name makes any difference really, they are a real pest, they travel from their daytime roost in the thousands upon thousands but an individual home backyard might only get 20-30 or 50 at night depending on what you've got that's good to eat..and waste, Winchester Zed's or BB caps, a scope sighted .22 and a good torch used to do a fine job on them, after a couple of nights when 20-30 or so have been put out of comission it was usually a week or two before the numbers built up again, but not allowed now of course...the learned persons agitated and petitioned Govt. with their drivel and got them put on the protected list...just about no one who lives here with them can believe it, especially the Lychee farmers, who loose tonnes of fruit now each season to the actions of flying foxes (ie. those that can't afford or havent put up nets yet, they were all forced too turn off the electric grids by those noisy self appointed save the flying fox crusader types).
