Picture of Bat In my Bedroom Window
#41
We have one too. One year we painted the house and we kept finding him or her??? once behind the shutter when we took it down, then again behind an eagle we had over the garage door.
Then he came in our bedroom, cause we pulled the air conditioner in. Had a hard time getting him out..We built him a house but he'd never use it. But with all our mosquitos, I'm glad he's still around. Wish we had more...outside!!

Henry, I'm kinda jealous. I've wanted to build a bat house (or two) to put high up in our tree, but found we really don't have bats around here. Disappointing. They are great pest control....not to mention cute.

That is so VERY COOL! :-)
We have small bats in this country, but I've only ever seen them in the zoo, never around home.
It would be awesome to have one living on your house! Of course, we don't have rabies here either, so that probably makes it less scary for me. :-)

But this one seems to love the house so it just comes around in April and it will leave around September.
One bat at a house isnt a problem, 20 bats or more is the problem.

We're pretty boring, we only have a wee family of sparrows nesting in the roof above our bedroom. We have been able to hear the babies all summer, and patter of the parent's feet coming in to feed them. I won't let hubby block the hole off till they've all left the nest and gone out on their own. He's not impressed! LOL
I don't know how much of a problem bat bites are in your country, but over here we lose a lot of people every year to motor accidents. I figure you're much more likely to die in a car crash than an animal attack, so why fear them.

When I was a kid we lived in a 3 story house with an attic and we would get bats in there...
It was pretty cool!
Then we would go fishing at dusk in this lake and the bats, like the swallows, would dive bomb our lines...
I am thinking of putting up a bat box where we live now.
They are very good for insects and mosquitos.
Too cool! But I like cool and unusual things.
Right now I am being bombarded with food requests from a young crow and a very pregnant squirrel.
