Join us Saturday 29 March 2014 - Kids' activities with author Aleesah Darlison, meet live flying-foxes up close, watch the nightly fly-out and more. The grey-headed flying-fox, the most commonly-seen bat in the Sydney region, is a large nectar- and fruit-eating bat which roosts during the day in large treetop colonies. It's listed as a threatened species (vulnerable to extinction) at state, federal, and international levels. Numbers are declining - from many millions in the 1930's to less than 450,000 in 2004, with an estimated 30% decline in population between 1990 and 2000. A population study (Divljam 2008) suggests the grey-headed flying-fox will be extinct in the wild in around 80-85 years.
