Top #91416 - 01/10/03 08:07 PM Re: Bat Under My Hat wwh Carpal Tunnel Registered: 01/18/01 Posts: 13858 Dear WW: There are some wonderful bat sites on Internet. If you have a carpenter in the family, you might enjoy making some bat houses, that might even help you escape risk of West Nile virus. I never got around to it, and always regretted it. I built a couple owl houses, but the owls never signed the lease. Here's a URL aboutecho-location: http://www.life.umd.edu/faculty/wilkinson/BSCI338/L25echolocation/sld025.htm Top #91417 - 01/10/03 08:17 PM Post deleted by Wordwind Wordwind Carpal Tunnel Registered: 09/30/01 Posts: 6296 Loc: Piedmont Region of Virginia, U... Top #91418 - 01/10/03 08:27 PM Re: Owl Under My Hat wwh Carpal Tunnel Registered: 01/18/01 Posts: 13858 Dear WW: I did not know that owls were so infested with vermin. We had one for a pet, but I never touched it. Remember though, that owls eat the mice that spread Lyme disease. Here is URL to very comple plans for making a bat house. Anything that eats mosquitoes is a friend of mine: http://www.batcon.org/bhra/economyhouse.html Top #91419 - 01/13/03 08:08 AM Re: Owl Under My Hat dxb Pooh-Bah Registered: 03/06/02 Posts: 1692 Loc: UK It is worth noting that in November last year a bat handler in the UK died as a result of bat rabies. I must stress that this is an extremely rare occurrence and should not put anyone off the idea of taking an interest in bats, but it does happen. Bats have sharp teeth and will use them if they feel threatened – having been bitten by a bat that I found lying on the flagstones in some cloisters adjoining Salisbury Cathedral, I can vouch for that! This url deals with the case of the man who died. http://www.ndsc.ie/d509.HTML.html There are other sites that give advice on handling bats and a number that talk specifically of rabies in American bats and precautions you should take when handling bats. Bats are protected species in the UK and you are not allowed to disturb their habitat. This has proved quite a problem for people who have had a bat colony take up residence on their property.

She is so terrified of bats that she slaughters any that her poor tenent catches so she'll stop screaming. I only caught one. She promised she'd release it but she liedI won't catch any more for her.
