The city where I live has a high population of bats, sometimes I can see them gliding elegantly between the trees. Tonight I did not see any of them but kept hearing a lot of chirping coming from the trees (first seconds of the video). Are these sounds from batties or from another animal?
Jardim da chácara tá totalmente tomado por essas bichinhas, ate dentro de casa tão entrando
Found dead after being seen flying erratically and hitting trees in our garden. Isolated from human contact
Hi, I have had some annoying bat-related OCD rants. They have been mostly related to my parents’ farm, (Central Brazil) which we often visit since 2003. We know bats roam the area (as they roam near our city house), but since then I have seen bats only twice: a youngster sleeping/hanging beneath a palm tree’s leaves and another one seen flying strangely and hitting the garden’s trees before falling dead on the grass (disposed in remote area).
All of our house’s windows have safety bars and we have never caught a bat inside, even if the house is large. However, we are visiting the farm now and yesterday, I was resting on my room looking at the phone at dusk, while all windows of the house were momentarily open for the air to circulate. I ended up napping for a moment while on the cellphone and woke up. No bat in my room, nor in the house.
But I keep imagining a bat getting in one of the windows, flying all the way towards my room, getting on me , then flying out of the room and getting swatted out by my parents unbeknowst to me. I KNOW I would have noticed a bat inside my room if that happened (had a previous situation where I woke up to bat in my room in another place), but I am feeling the urge to ask my parents if they saw a bat inside, because I am afraid they wouldnt tell me so I wouldnt get anxious in such a situation. OCD dealing wise, should I ask them or not?
