What sounds do flying-foxes make?
Flying-foxes are social animals and make a wide range of calls. These include contact calls, chirps and squabbles, searching calls by mother flying-foxes seeking their young when returning to the colony, and a range of mating and warning calls. At night feeding flying-foxes are often heard in flowering or fruiting trees as they compete for food. Australian flying-foxes do not echo-locate; that is, they do not use sound to locate or navigate.
