## Resource

Fifty thousand grey-headed flying foxes have turned Sydney’s south-west into a noisy, smelly nightmare — their massive urban colony near Harrington Park Lake is coating homes and playgrounds in droppings, disrupting lives just meters from doors. Protected by law, relocating them is nearly impossible, forcing councils to clean up while experts plan a July strategy. Residents brace for the long haul — these bats will stay as long as food lasts, until nature eventually moves them on. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
