death sentence seems a bit excessive, surely they can climb? Yeah putting them on the ground probably makes it much more likely they'll get nabbed by a predator before they get up a tree, but it feels like saying "putting a human in a tree is a death sentence"

I'm simply repeating what I was told by professionals, so I'm not sure what you want from me.

Make sure the bat takes flight...some people might not know that and just put it on the ground and go back inside thinking it's fine.

Holding it up high ensures it does that, no need for it to find something to climb. Being trapped in a house is stressful on the little guys so why not give them the best chance?

Just trying to provide helpful info to folks.

Have a nice day!
