There has been quite a number of Little Red flying foxes caught on barb wire fences in the last week. We have been rescuing at least 2 a day everyday! Barbwire is very bad for flying foxes because they are big and use their eyesite to navigate they often get caught up on it. The wounds they get (mouth wings etc) trying to get off are heartwrenching. They are such lovely creatures and certainly don't derserve to end like this. Often they are so very badly damaged by the time we get them and so don't survive. However they are survivors and so help us to help them and we do get to get quite a number through to being released again.
here is a photo of me removing one from barb wire.
