Pups normally stay attached to their mothers until they become too heavy to carry (at about 4-5 weeks of age) and then they are left together with other pups in ‘crèching’ trees, where they wait for their mothers to return at dawn after spending the night looking for food. Eventually, after about 4-5 months, these pups will fly out to forage on their own.![]()
