 During the day, individuals reside in large roosts (colonies or 'camps') consisting of hundreds to tens of thousands of individuals.They sometimes share their roosts with the grey-headed flying fox ("Pteropus poliocephalus"), the spectacled flying fox ("P. conspicillatus"), and/or the little red flying fox ("P. scapulatus").They roost in mangroves, paperbark swamps, patches of rainforest and bamboo forests, and very rarely in caves or underneath overhangs.
