Making that artificial flower to hide food in there shows how much care was put into the bird's recovery. True love and compassion.
Absolutely
yeah, that's very smart for the bird's survival out in the wild
If he’s single, some gal oughta grab him. He’s a keeper.
Aww, I appreciate it
@@timefoolery agreed
When you see a big man help a small bird you know he's got a heart of gold
That's for sure! and so true! this world would be a much better place if everyone are like him!
A very big heart in a big man
Thanks, I appreciate it
Real men are kind and protective. He looks just like my Dad did.
What about a small man helping a small bird?
As a former hummingbird parent, I can say it is truly a labor of love raising these guys. They need to be fed constantly and are much smaller and more fragile than most birds you'll work with. Hats off to this guy for raising one, it's really not easy and takes a dedicated person.
Hey there's a pair that comes at my window wondering what to feed them.
111 👍
as someone who knows barely anything about hummingbirds, i know you cant just feed it sugar water like every video of these i see lol im surprised they survive and grow. i guess they had enough nutrition in their bodily reserve to compensate
@@Hitomaru-shiki.senshaDude, what do you think flower nectar is? It’s mostly sugar.
Dude, you can't lay an egg, stop calling yourself a parent of bird. You were just caretaker.
I never understand why western call themselves mom-dads of animals, birds??
This guy is not used to animals so he treats them as equals, with respect and compassion.
Great guy !
what are you implying ? I’m used to animals and I treat them the same
Perhaps he meant that he isn’t used to animals, but he still treats them as equals and with respect and stuff
@@huianxing3782 Then he just doesn't know how to write a sentence lol the "so he" contradicts what you said
What a weird comment lol implying people that are used to animals don't treat them as equals is idiotic
@olivierrun8364, actually, he is used to animals, because we Humans are 100% animals. It is religious nonsense that has been falsely teaching us otherwise, for thousands of years
The effort he went through to make this little bird comfortable so she could recover! So sweet!
Hummingbirds are so awesome and unique.
So fragile looking, but full of anatomical "high technology"
Good job kind Sir 👏 ❤
God Bless this man.
💖Hummingbird💖
Forreal man Jerry-rigged an entire rehabilitation for the bird. It looked pretty legit too
Ong
An example of a beautiful human being. Thank you for your heart of gold!
She won't forget him either. Animals have more sense of gratitude than people do. She'll reappear from time to time.
Are you sure?!
I bet she does !!
Hummingbirds have amazing memory for people.
Might even bring her kids to show them off.Happens all the time
*very general statement..
There are plenty of decent human beings.. this channel is dedicated to thanking them, and inspiring others.
*negativity only breeds more negativity.
The little motor sound of her wings is so beautiful. This man is beautiful too for taking care of her.
This is a real man, the world needs more people like this gentleman.
Don't say we need more people like him, instead say WE CAN BE LIKE HIM🙂
@@applepie8308
I'm already like him, maybe YOU need to be like him. 🙂🙂
AMEN! men are strong through accepting their nurturing side as well. it is a balanced man.
@@applepie8308 do not tell others what to do. clearly you had an adverse reaction to it. 🤣😭😭😭🤔
@@TEM14411 they said "we can..." they didn't say to be like him.
This guy is a genius with the ways her mocked up real world stuff to acclimatise the bird. Well done sir!
Yeah, bravo to him especially not being a bird expert
That was awesome. It would be great if some people cared this much about babies in the womb.
@@mooneymakes359 theyre not even babies lol
@@packacz fetus is a latin word for a growing baby
So yes they are baby
@@jacktom3799 That's not what fetus means in latin, and the word baby is only used for embryo and fetus in ordinary langage not in the scientific classification of the different stage in the womb.
A man like this, only total respect for him. The man took time, effort and learned everything he could to heal this bird. Absolutely marvelous.
There's something absolutely adorable about a large man handling and taking care of a tiny bird.
This MAN IS AN INCREDIBLE HUMAN BEING. He is the definition of "HUMANE". What an act of kindness!

This was beautiful ❤❤❤
What incredible compassion and gentleness. You, Sir, are an example to us all. May you live in peace and love all the days of your life
100%
Bird's are smart and they are Magical creatures. God bless the Human.
What a smart, caring, kind-hearted man to help this sweet little bird.
Very compassionate!
Humming birds are rly cute.
Bruh the top 2 comments have only 2 word as names coincidence hmmmm...
I think not alt account hmmmm
Thanks, I appreciate it.
@@sammymalloy6312 I'm also crying. And like others have said, so impressed with your intuitive empathy; knowing to do exactly what Flit needed.
What a magical experience you have shared with the world. Thank you. ❤️
Such a sweet, kind, gentle and caring man. The little bird did just fine.
what a gift you were to one another.
You can tell a lot about a man's heart by the way he treats animals.
Great job brother, thanks for sharing. 👍
Great hearing that.

💯 Facts!!
We all know that holding a hummingbird is something out of a fairytale
I moved farther north last year and thought my days of seeing hummingbirds were done. I was out in the garage and saw one swoop down and try to check out a yellow cap on a gas cap. I was amazed.
I went inside and got a feeder ready and when I came back the poor guy was stuck in the garage flying at the window. I picked him up and warmed him, and gave him some fresh sugar water from the feeder I _just_ setup. After about 10m he left, and kept coming back, probably all summer long... I had 3 hummingbirds that I noticed.
It was amazing to feel that delicate bird, with racing heart, like a single cotton ball in weight.
@@volvo09 ❤❤❤
@@volvo09
👍👏🌼 thank you. I'm positive that you'll see that hummingbird again. He'll probably bring his friends too!
I started with 1 visiting my backyard feeder.
Now, there's at least 6.🌼
You can barely feel them, they're so light. Same with microbats.
@Holl ywood Don’t you *_EVER_* Stop Trolling child? You’re _everywhere_ begging.
I’ll just keep reporting you as unwanted *SPAM.*
Grow Up!
This is the sweetest 💗 What a wonderful example of positive masculinity.
The paper flower is the sweetest kindest thing I've seen in a LONG time. 👏👏👏
This is just FABULOUS. A very heart warming story. You're a special guy, Sammy.
White men have outstanding empathy towards animals (for the most part)
You are amazing bless you for your kindness 🇦🇺♥️♥️♥️
@@thisgame2 some black men do too.
@@thisgame2 neither skin color nor gender defines someone's compassion and empathy! It's what's in their heart!
@@thisgame2 And what do you mean by 'White' men? You say that men of other colors don't have animal empathy?
The fact he simulated the real world so the bird could live on its own is wild 🙏🏽😩 love this guy wish we could all take him out for a beer so he had a lifetime supply
he made an irl tutorial area

With reasonable amounts of brain power and follow through, it's scary what we can do. Like make a hummingbird from scratch and then releasing it.

Hands down one the most amazing dodo stories I've seen in a long time. The guys methods were so very thoughtful and considered that there seems to have been no other option but success.
WHAT a MAN!

IS HE SINGLE????
sheesh it's just a bird, there are millions more of them
It is so hard to save a hummingbird. So precious!

The moment she start flying is magical. Respect for Sammy.
Thank you
“You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”-Malcolm S. Forbes.
Yes❤
So true,and soooo ,rigth.!
Seems Mr. Forbes made money the old fashion way, he shared it..
I just love these videos of humans rehabilitating wild animals. It takes patience and creativity.
Wow I’m truly amazed by the care this man takes and how this baby survives ❤
This man is so kind and welcoming, Most people would just look away, not care, at most just pick the hummingbird up and put it on a tree, but this man, he helped this animal adapt and get back on their own feet. he's a person you rarely will see or meet in this world.
EDIT: Thanks for the likes guys, just remember, we don't need to have more people like this in the world, we need to be like these people (credit to some people, I forgot who, who commented this
Yes! I would love to do the same thing, with protective gloves even for my own safety, but my father never lets me. He treats it like a bad thing, helping animals in need if they're wild :(
PS. I know the risks of health and environmental stress. I can always learn more
A Human.
no. most peopel would think their amazing for picking it up- clipping its wings- and keeping ixt asa pet so it survives. this man was just pure

Oh my, that is the most adorable story! What a sweet, thoughtful, caring man. Thank you for rescuing the little bird, and thanks for being such a kind person.
You are welcome
Hummingbirds are really a magical birds. You're so blessed to have been able to interact with them up close and personal. Thank you for your kind attention to Flit and made her able to go back to nature. Kudos sir.
Thank you SOOOOOOO very much for helping her…she is beautiful…BEAUTIFUL🌺🪷🙏🏾
I feel happy I share this planet with such friendly people.
What an amazing comment!
@@mattyp7582 it is, isn't it
Also share it with .......well, after all what did happen to MaMa bird?
Same here☺️
I feel happy that i share this planet w all the amazing creatures on it.😊
This Man Is so kind and his kids will be so blessed to have a father with such a big warm heart to look up to
What a special man he is, so caring and skillful with the little one.
@{𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝒾𝓁𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝑀𝑜𝑜𝓃} hmm... Sorry I disturbed your day with my comment. Have a plesent one today. :-)
@{𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝒾𝓁𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝑀𝑜𝑜𝓃} I do have kids. That is my daughter at the end
I saved a hummingbird one time. As well as other species. It brings so much joy to be able to help them
I have to admit, putting the red tissue paper around the syringe is pretty genius. It always warms my heart to see a fellow kind soul. It lets us know that we’re not doing it by ourselves.
@Schrodinger's Cat: I agree! Encouraging to know there are other kind souls.
I have literally never seen a hummingbird land on a person. I am not surprised that it hung on to its caretaker, but the fact that it kept making contact with the guy after it was healed is so cool! birds are so smart!
I had an injured one land on me once, while trimming a hedge. I placed him in a box and took him to a wildlife rehabilitator.
I never seen a hummin bird also😒😒
She was light as air
So cute 🥰
God bless that guy that did the right thing ❤
How incredibly sweet! The red paper really helped on the feeding tube.
Once i foud a hummingbird on some sort of catatonic state being eaten alive by ants on the grass while walking my dog. Eventually I picked him up and cleaned him, also fed him with a syringe with honey/water. He stayed with us for two months until his death (He was an old man as the vet told us) so i guess we allowed him to have a nicer death
Lol. Poetically put.
Good for you & your compassion.
I found a downed nest of 5 songbirds being eaten alive by ants & bugs, too. Rescued them quick & stayed up w/them all night, till the Wild Care here opened. Quite the time!
They contacted me when they were ready for release, some weeks later.
They were bare, except for a bit of head feathers. Looked really funny!
I tried feeding them, after I very carefully washed each under some warm water & blotted their bloody wounds from being hacked at. :/
But the mom knows what to feed & regurgitates it down their throats, till she can just bring food for them & hold it for them to eat. I didn’t have anything they’d eat & couldn’t find any worms to attempt to pulverize & feed with.
I was told it was amazing they lived through that & all the hours that passed before I could get them to Wild Care. They’re usually fed every 30 minutes, round the clock by mom. So right away, 3 ppl there began the task to save them.👍
So glad they all survived!
Hummingbirds have really good memories too. They remember food sources and come back to them continuously as long as they dont run out. Thats why you should never let your hummingbird feeders get fully empty. Flit is for sure going to keep coming back to the people who helped her 😄
I can't say for sure if she has come back. I can say that the next season, there was a baby ruby throated hummingbird at my bird feeder, and I had never seen her species there before flit.
@@sammymalloy6312 Ty so much for caring for this sweet amazing bird! Hummingbirds are so cool!
@@sammymalloy6312 Really makes me happy to know there are kind compassionate people out there like you
@@sammymalloy6312 You're a legend Sammy!
@@sammymalloy6312 thankyou sammy
I dunno why but I always cry at the end of every THE DODO VIDEOS 😩🌨️
Me toooooo! 😬😉😁
Because you have a heart.
You have a big heart❤️
Me too
Sir what you did for the hummingbird won’t ever be forgotten by her/him hummingbird & I wish there are more people like you! 🙏🏻❤️
I have a few I talk to regularly, one that brushes my cheek when I change the feeder 🙂
Thank you for those kind words
This story is crazy, I can't believe he found it let alone was able to bring her back up to health.... Amazing story, keep up the good work people, these stories give me a little bit of hope for humans. 😊

My daughter actually saw a newborn "thing" on the pavement just outside her door. How she saw it without stepping on it is beyond me because it was SO small, no hair, almost transparent skin. Not even 2 inches long. Eyes still closed. Looked like a small hairless mouse. It was SO new that it had no identifiable marks, tail, or bone structure.
My daughter is NOT an animal person, not self-sacrificing at all, and being a wildlife rehabilitator since I was three (I'm 55 now), I was all but certain he would not make it, especially given those two circumstances combined.
Unbelievably, she kept it alive and thriving, eventually passing it on to a rehabilitator near her.
It took a while but she finally got a picture from the rehab of it's toddler self, with a note saying, "Congratulations! It's a squirrel!"
Not long after came his release day.
Now when things seem bleak in my own life, all I have to do is think of that time and remember, miracles happen every day.
@@hamdanschannelforkids3205 bruh sthu.
You stayed so focused on the goal of getting her strong enough to survive on her own. So selfless! God bless you.
thank you for taking the time to be a wonderful person to help the little hummer.
Such a loving and patient man. A true alpha is a protector.
@ Ivanka date...👍👏👏👏🤝⚘🕊
Thank you
There is something incredibly beautiful about gentle giants that care about vulnerable creatures
It's so comforting to know, kind men like him are around. Judge a man by the way he treats animals.
He's so precious 🥰. What a wonderful, patient man.
It’s amazing to me the amount of people in the world who think that “manliness” is about never being gentle, but, in reality, all humanity is at our best when we’re gentle and kind. Kudos to all you out there who live with love!
Kudos to you the Batmary !!
What a lovely comment 💞
Whenever I start to question if humanity deserves it´s place - people like these prove it does.
What he did was amazing but it certainly doesn’t fix all of society’s problems.
@@bluscreen4193 You are definitely right, but ať least something...anything.
It's less that "humanity" does or does not deserve it's place and more that certain individuals and sometimes groups don't deserve it.
@@Sciguy95 That's actually most precise point of view!
Pretty sure aliens made us and left us here to tend for nature and care for injured animals. And as a collective have done the opposite.
This man really has a great heart. Providing her a space like she is in her real enviroment until she go. What a such way to teach.
Oh my God, God bless him.I'm in tears.Thank God she's okay.
We need more people like you😊
That is a strong man.
With at least one lucky kid. Who’s learning that even the smallest lives are precious & should be saved.
That man went the extra mile to save a tiny little life. Good on him for doing it.
It flied straight towards the flowers, that's a massive win 👍
For a man to take the time out of his life and do all that work, effort, spending money, patience, time, nursing, training. What a smart and kind thing to do for a tiny animal. 🐦🐦🦜🦜🙏🙏
The hummingbird’s flight mechanics are just mind blowing.
May not have changed the world, but definitely changed this bird life forever. Good on you kind soul.
But these acts *are* the things that help to change the world. Our actions matter & make a difference, no matter how small. 💕✌️
He has healed someone with this video too. There is a lesson to be learned here.
The butterfly effect works not just in weather, but in love also.
Or in this case, the hummingbird effect.
@@9sheri9 gee thanks for foresight detective obvious 🤷♀️
changed my life watching this video - so kind acts spread out and multiply effect -
My wife and I started putting out Hummingbird feeders several years ago, and I think the same group of hummers (my wife calls them squeakers) come back every season. We can almost mark the date on a calendar, but usually the last week of April. They often announce their arrival by hovering close to us while we're out in the yard and squeaking.
When our Hummingbird group leaves in early to mid-September for the southern migration, we keep the feeder up and supplied until early to mid October for any southbound Hummingbirds needing a quick refuel for their journey.
They probably are the same birds if they come up to you and squeak! 🥰 I can personally attest to the fact that they get to know you and come up to say hi or let you know the feeder is empty. 😆
We need more people like this gentleman

A big grown-up man crafting papier-mache flowers and taping leafy branches to the curtain rail to teach a hummingbird how to hummingbird - that is about the most wholesome and precious thing I've probably seen in years.
The fact that he connected with such a small little birdie...it's confirmed that he's a Disney prince!
You are the first to call me a Disney Prince, everyone else was saying I was Snow White, lol
I've had the blessing of caring for a baby hummingbird myself and it's rewarding. Once she (Emerald) was older and learned how to fly I let her go but she did come back a couple times to say hello. Thank you for caring for this baby. 💙💚
MUCH respect, Sammy. The love you showed that bird will be with it forever.
I have a bunch of hummer feeders and its so therapeutic to watch them everyday. Simply buy feeders and sugar and boil 4 cups of water per 1 cup sugar to make the perfect nectar.
The fact he even saw that small thing was a miracle. I am just glad he didn’t try making it an in door pet or something like that. He did everything right
My daughter wanted to keep her so bad, and I admit I was tempted to... but I knew it wouldn't be right to keep a hummingbird as a pet.
@@sammymalloy6312 If you have something like an indoor greenhouse with lots of flowers and food for them, that would be one thing. But to keep them in a regular house is not right. You did the right thing
Birds are the most beautiful living creatures.
This man is a genius in the way he took care of little Flit and so caring, too!
His compassion paid off! ☺️🥰
Beautiful hummingbird, and what a great loving heart in this man!
Having worked with a fair number of hummers and I have a pair that live in my yard that I feed through winter. The may be tiny but they are fierce.
Wonderful dedication. We salute him.
Thanks for the love
What is precious is people like him. This is what needs to be shown on tv, the compassion and love for all creatures on this earth no matter how small.
AMEN!
Unfortunately that "love for all creatures" Does not exist. It's only the pretty ones. I bet none of the people here would say "aaaaaaw that poor spider" Or "save that injured cockroach you monster! "
@@robin2934 I save spiders all the time! But you're right, cockroaches might be the only creature I won't try to "save"..usually don't have the opportunity in the first place as they dart off really fast.

What a wonderful story - and such a wonderful guy….thank you for being a steward for this sweet little Flit!!💕
Who doesn't love hummingbirds!? When he said "...motivated by food" and she flew for the first time it really tugged at my heart strings - it was exciting! What a terrific story!
No argument that this man is the luckiest on earth and the most gentle and nature lover as well…. We wants more of him in this world…
This made me grin from ear to ear, especially when she flew to the syringe😁 A popsicle stick for a perch, a syringe (with red paper around it) to mimic a flower, a higher branch to get used to, a shirt to cosy up in; what an amazing and truly thoughtful human being!!🤗 Flit is so lucky to have been rescued by you, and in turn, you are so lucky to have had the privilege of her company. Fantastic job Sammy!!🤯🥳🥰💙💚
Yes Sammy is a wonderful special human. Especially loved the little branch up near the ceiling, made me cry.

@@davidfasano7210 ahahah that sounds so sweet!
This is what I hoped to find out in the comments…would bet any money that bird would revisit his saviour!!
hummingbirds remember food, she'll always visit this area especially if he plants things hummingbirds like. i have had a family return each year for 5 years now, i can stand pretty close, would love to get right next to them
God bless folks who do things like this. I have nearly 30yrs experience in the avian field having worked "hands on" with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey and Budgies to Macaws. And "hummers" as i like too call them are NOT EASY to take care of. There metabolisms run so fast which is why they are constantly needing to feed. And the 500+ mile migration journey the Ruby Throated Hummingbirds fly is simply an incredible feat for such a tiny animal. We call them "the jewels" of the bird world for good reason. So thank you sir for doing your part we ALL need to be more aware of the world we share with these incredible creatures.
