This is why, recently, several bat houses were installed by a group of young Houstonians, who built the tiny structures themselves.

The bat houses are brightly colored, with stenciled bats and ‘#harvey’ painted on the sides in white.

Caoilin, Enya, Keenan, Skyler, Joaquin, Noe, and Lila built bat houses for the displaced bats of the Waugh Street Bridge. Screen shot of HoustonZoo.org.

ā€œMy daughters and her friends were upset about the Waugh bridge bats, so they responded by making these rocket houses,ā€ Alan, a resident of Woodland Heights, provided in a post on the Houston Zoo blog; they reportedly got the idea from Bat Conservation International‘s website.

The bat houses are currently mounted at points along Buffalo Bayou, near the colony’s former home under Waugh Street Bridge.
