Even bats are captivated by his voice... I'm sure he promised to read the bat a story as reward for Obedience.

Thanks for the tips. I used your technique to train my bowling ball to come on command.

HOLY SHIT, NEIL GAIMAN IS THE REAL BATMAN!

Notice this, he only snaps and says come when the bat is just about to pass him up, that isn't bat training. Bat training has only been practiced by bat biologists and even at Disney's Animal Kingdom, he's just doing a cheap trick

I find it sad that it's only Canada, the U.K., Australia and the U.S. where this is more than marginally popular. It doesn't even register in most of Africa. They're like, "Neil Gaiman, who the devil is he? Oh, a writer! What on earth is that, hmm?"

I've never forgiven my mum for not waking me when I was little and a bat fell down our chimney into the livingroom... I could've been a bat trainer. XD

When I hear Neil Gaiman writing about Bat-Training, I imagine him putting on a cape and tights. But maybe that's just me.

So. Much. Love. Bats are some of my favorite animals, you're an amazing author, and basically this video is hugely awesome.

A bat made its way into our house when I was a kid. The night it happened, some of my cousins were sleeping over and we were all camped out on the living room floor when we saw something fly overhead near the ceiling. At first my mom thought it was a bird, but then figured out what it was and totally freaked out. My dad caught it and let it go outside.
