How will the Botanic Gardens Trust encourage flying-foxes to feed but not roost?
Noise disturbance will not be conducted during the night-time foraging period. This will allow the flying-foxes freedom to feed wherever they choose. The Gardens offer a considerable range of fruits and flowers year round. Following an initial successful dispersal of the flying-fox camp in 1992, a further 200-300 were successfully discouraged on two other occasions. The flying-foxes did not roost but were observed to feed in the Gardens.
