That's a healthy attitude.

Bats are the most incredible things to see in flight. Every time I see one, my heart jumps. The best thing I've ever been bought was a little box that picks up their echolocation and teels you when they're nearby and, with a little practice, what species they are. One of these years, I'll get my handling license

Me and ?

Can you hear their squeaks Skanky? I am one of the lucky few that can!

I hope you are looking after the i sent you!*flap flap flap*

What a gadget!!!

I've been wanting to buy a bat house to keep the critters around to feast on bugs near the house.. at least the ones that aren't gotten by my vicious killer attack chicken..

I put a bat box in a tree, but the bats never used it...

I can hear their squeeks though!

They don't seem interested here but we have very few mature trees... I guess I'll just have to settle for my memories of watching the bat flight at Carlsbad Caverns when I was younger..

Sorry, I often cause confusion with bat box terminology. We've been using bat detectors on walks for children for a few years now, and the idea of putting bat homes in trees has only recently become popular. So we've always called bat detectors 'bat boxes', and now a bat box is something completely different

I had thought they were called bat houses (like bird houses) anyway..

Depends where you live, I suppose; in the UK we call them bat boxes, like bird (or nest) boxes

makes sense
