A Rescue Mission

Mr. Forrest’s adventure began when Colin discovered him in his grevilleas one morning. It’s speculated that the bat had fed on the grevilleas and found himself in a predicament due to the limited space. Even potentially hitting the house during his endeavors. Despite his foul mood and the unfortunate situation he found himself in. Mr. Forrest was free from injuries, much to the relief of his rescuers.

A Love for Bananas

In this video, Mr. Forrest can be seen enjoying a banana, a simple pleasure that momentarily appeased his disgruntlement. His initial crankiness, perhaps a mixture of fear and frustration, gradually gave way to enjoying his fruity snack. “There’s always room for banana,” the rescuers amusingly noted as Mr. Forrest indulged in his treat.
