Hummingbird Rescue!

- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Today I found this female hummingbird on my front porch. She seemed to be in a daze from slamming into the window. I picked her up to save her from becoming a cat snack. Thankfully, Ms. Hummingbird woke up from her daze and flew away!
Very cool to see one of these beautiful birds close up. They have the most amazing little feet and tiny little eyelashes.

My sister once saw a baby humming brid on the side of a road on a really how day.. She called me and told me to help her deal with it. I ran over to where she was and put the poor thing in a shoe box. I walked very carefully home and we had to take care of it for a few days and we had a lot of success. We had to feed it small insects and we had to give it a A LOT of sugar water. After about 1 week of caring for it, it began to fly around my room. We though it was time that we should let it go into the wild. We brought it outside but it would not leave my hand. I set it on the grass but it flew up to me.. After about 1 more week of caring for it, we brought it outside and it began to fly away... I love happy endings!
Thank for the lovely story.
Rita Geraghty Thank you
😁👏
MJ K Thanks :D
+Connor Wills Bless your heart Connor! This is a great rescue success story! You and your sister were raised right.
why can't all masquitos become humming birds would be a better world
Because lots of humming birds would die fom fogs and stuff
That'll fuck up the food chain.
+Fishbowl10 eh well there are still flies and other insects
you'd want hummingbirds to tear into your skin with their beaks and drink your blood? I'd rather have mosquitos 😂
Collision SC- If all mosquitoes turned into hummingbirds then in a matter of days a lot of then would have died thanks to us humans and nature. Many types of insects would probably died out or become endanger since hummingbirds eat insects. I would never want to live in a world where there's next to none insects. That's not even all that would happen.
When a bird is injured it goes into shock. Just pick it up, put it in a safe place and they will fly away after about 15 minutes. Learned that with a Cardinal last summer.
True although they would try to fly away too i guess so maybe something was wrong with its wing
We had a cardinal hit our window we thought it broke his neck but I guess he got knocked out hopefully he made it but he did fly so I guess that's a good sign
When she came to, she must have been like: 'Where am I...OH SHIT!
LOL
LOL
Hah.
I have *ONE* AND ONLY ONE thing to say

Idiot
it's people like you that warm my heart
He is married.
Not in that way, I just like people who do things that are great like help animals and other things
ak4ik omg XD!!
Auto focus is one of the many scourges-uh, I mean wonderful conveniences of modern cameras. Always blurring foreground subjects while highlighting the truly important things in the background, like grass and walls and lamps.
I was saying the same thing....everything was clear except for the most important part the subject
yes not good camera..missed the eyes of this beautiful bird
😂😂😂
sarcasm on point
It's rare to see people to pick or catch this bird because they are fast like lighting
it was probably hurted
I lost 2 brain cells reading these
The same thing happened to me at work. poor little guy slammed into our window and was totally knocked out. we were gonna leave it be, but then we saw a stray cat. We had to sit outside with it in my hand for quite a while before it was ok to fly. it was amazing!

Jimmy Nuttron I don't know about any powers, but I do know that holding that tiny little guy was beyond amazing... super humbling even. He was beautiful.

The same thing happened to me. It took about 10 minutes for the bird to recover. Two seconds later it was out of sight.
Was it Brian Setzer?
Omg she is so delicate. Shes almost like a fairy, or a fantasy creature.
*wakes up* flies into window again
***** LOL
***** all the birds I have ever helped died.
I arrived too late for them all beause of being under the rain after a great fall, being too old or being on the floor for a day or more and having his wounded wing eated while being alive by fucking ants
*****, I'm sorry but that is a funny name for a bird.
I know you idiot.
That's exactly why I said sorry.
poor little guy. if we all were gentle to animals and loved them then this world would be a gentle place
That's not a Hummingbird, it's a Hummingblur.
*wink
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Jesus that profile pic though.
Kormanter my god your right
+Richard Watson I need that pic in my life please send the link!
Richard Watson ...
Such tiny, delicate creatures...
These are the videos I don't understand why people dislike.
FOCUUUUUUUUUSSS

This happened to me once. I treasure that memory. Hummingbirds are a real gift from God.
You weren't the only one who flew into a window? It hurts.
Oh bless such a tiny little bird, bless you for picking him up, glad he was ok in the end, wish we had them in the UK!!!
Anyone ever seen humming bird eggs? Their so tiny, their like the size of a tic-tac.
***** Tic tac.
Discerning Daniel ✌
"They're"
You saved a flying jewel! You are kind!
My cat brought me a hummingbird when i was about 8, is was a bit cut up from the cat, but i kept it a few days and fed it, and it made an adorable little peep sound everytime i left it alone for long, i eventually let it go, though it seemed more like it wanted to stay. Practically had to throw it in the air and run inside. It could fly fine and i'm sure it had a normal life. Amazing little birds. :)
Same thing happened to me, a little bird flew into the window and fell on the porch. He/She was dazed/unable to move so I put them into a cat cage for the night and then the next day they could fly again. :D
YOUR HORRIBLE TRYING TO FEED IT TO A FRIGGIN CAT
Lavezzilc97 What are you on about? Do you really think the cat would be in the cage at the time? Where the heck do you expect me to put the bird, book a 5 star hotel or something. No where did I state I was trying to feed it to a cat, get off the cannabis my friend.
Chris Ridgway Wait cannabis? what's that?
Google.
Chris Ridgway oh...
Just FYI -- don't put red dye in your hummingbird nectar. There is no reason to, and studies have shown that it might cause damage to them long-term. Just boil water, add 1 part sugar for every 4 parts water, let cool, and then feed them :)
Actually, the sugar water doesn't have a nutritional value either. It only attracts them. They need vitamins in their water, which is sold in stores.
mine only will drink plain Ive tried all that store stuff, so I stick with what works!
God bless you for saving this poor creature🙏
Crows are one of the most intelligent animals on the planet so it doesn't surprise me they can show sympathy. Great Story
You sir have been blessed by the opportunity to hold one of natures most graceful creatures in your hand. Thank you.
Lovely hummingbird rescued ...

It was kind of you helping that humming bird. I think it was Tired of flying for a while. And yes little things do matter to.
Once there was a baby bird lying on the streets. It was still alive, so my mom picked it up and took it with her. My dad was furiouse and told her to put it back where we found her. My mom put her back and I cried. My mom picked it back up and we took care of her/him. After a few days it died from sickness. :'(
That's a sad story I'm sorry to hear that
Same thing happened to me.... My family and I came back from the park(I think) when I saw something fluffy in the corner if the building. It was a baby bird that fell out of its nest... We fed it and gave it water for a few days. It was doing really well. Turns out it was one of those common birds that need its mom to survive... It died on the third( I think) day. I was crying.... It surprised me how close you can get with an animal in such a short amount of time...
One time, a robin flew into my window, and fell in my front yard. I went out to see if it was dead, but it was moving, and had minor injuries. I took care of it for about a week without my family knowing, but it eventually passed away from old age by the time it had healed. :(
Stu Wright or the father knew that taking the bird would be a death sentence as some birds need their parents to live for the first while... some wont take the young back in after a human touches it though...
No, that is a stupid myth. Adult birds will not reject the baby if you touch it. And I agree, your father is awful
At some point you've got to recognize: this camera won't do close-ups.
+mano a mano lol
You are nice! That hummingbird was so helpless and then you helped it recover. Just like me, I care about nature.
thank you, people who actually care to help these innocent people are those who deserve to live, most humans don't deserve to live as they will ignore those in need.
This video makes me cry
david garcia Hey nice profile pic! You look fit
nana M :) now I look even more fit
who would thumb down this video, so cute
Wow, your camera is a jerk. "I'm gonna focus on the grass instead of this cutie lil doop in front of me!" lol
It's little things like these that keep my faith in humanity from taking a complete nose dive.
Ah,never realized they were THAT small.So delicate,beautiful little birds.So sweet that you were there to rescue it,and it just rested in your hand until it gathered strength to fly off.Well done to you,St Francis need not worry...
The camera: "WHY THE FUCK IT WONT FOCUUUUS!!?"
Bird: "Dude. I'm HummingBlur!"
levios rainnor 😘💖👧
I saved one the other day that flew into my garage, It got confused by my lights and could not find the door. I thought it was going to knock itself out slamming into the light fixture over and over like a beetle does. I turned off the lights hoping it would just fly back out the way it came but it just landed on the fixture and sat there. (most likely dizzy from all the head impacts) The funny part is when i got up there to catch it and take it back outside it just sat on my finger for about 10 minutes before finally deciding to fly away Directly back into the garage. This time when i released it again i had the garage door closed.
I found a humming bird once, acting the same way. Apparently they have to eat really frequently or they will die. (High metabolism) I gave it sugar water and in a few minutes it was ok again.
+WTEIncognito I turned it into a mini turkey for my daughter's barbie dolls afterwards.
Thank you for being so kind when picking up the tiny little hummingbird. Birds are just fine if you pick them up around the breast bone, it's always the best-- never from the side.
You must have felt blessed that day. Surely this is good karma visiting you.....what a privilege to hold such a delicate soul in the palm of your hand.
What a wonderful video. I noticed the position of the sun seemed to change during the vid-how long did it take for the bird to come around?
It only took about 5 - 7 minutes for the bird to come around and fly off. The position of the sun didn't change, in the video I picked the bird up from my front porch (which is in the shade) and walked to the hummingbird feeder (which is in the sun).
MyRealityBytes
Well, you probably saved that little bird's life by protecting it for that 5-7 minutes. Thanks for the video-you made my day with it. :)
joeschultz2 lol
hahaha
I saved a lil hummingbird the other day of the same species, I named him Blueberry
I live in TX and the one I saved looked like that one, are there ruby throats in TX?
Wow they're really small
That's not even the smallest species of hummingbird! The bee hummingbird is half that size!
Janeil Nold
wow thats amazing, when i went to America i saw 2 hummingbirds like the one in the video i felt blessed omg
How beautiful! In my opinion, the hummingbird is one of the most lovable birds
❤️Poor thing it's so small thank you for helping that poor thing ❤️
Birb was doin a frighten
Well, at least it wasn't a Hummingbird Moth..
That isn't a bird,thats a feather. c:
LOL did you not see the tiny bird?
RingtailFox its siencse cuz no burd is dat tinie duh
Ohhh you're a troll haha okay
RingtailFox Well,I wouldn't say troll,I don't plan on being one intentionally though XD
Derpina Herpencia lol What you said paired up with your username made me think you were one xD

Cris Ambat ah ok well she is cute =P
My head will explode 💥💥💥💥💥
HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU DISLIKE THIS VIDEO???
Quite easy sir. Simply press thumbs down button and voila!
I know it's so awsome smetimes I hate the guts of human beings but right now I don't hate them as much
ya that is mean

+2SilverEyes Probably because he picked it up.
i just love this soo much!!!!!!
That was really neat. Thanks for sharing your moment with us.
You are an angel! Thank you for rescuing her! Bless you!
reletad videos: Rescued by a Hummingbird :D
smol birb
At first I thought it was a jalapeño
Talia Andrade omg lol
I like the way the humming bird stares at you with its tiny eyes
God bless you for protecting such a small little thing that would have gone completely unnoticed if it did not make it.
Aww!
i 84 dislikes ? seriously ?
:D :D
212. strange I find.
Focus being in the ditch the whole time might have something to do with it...
At least 66 people in this world have no soul.
Unfortunately, i'd have to guess 66 is a minute fraction of the actual figure.
I remember when i was young and we lived on a farm, my older cousin babysat us for a weekend. A sparrow hit our large window she didn't want the cats to get it so she brought it inside when it was all dazed. i kept telling her to keep it outside cause when it wakes up it will freak out. She didn't listen and we spent the better part of the day trying to get this sparrow out of the house. LOL
You were incredibly gentle and patient with the tiny bird. Bless you! Glad it recovered!
Sorry to burst your happy bubble, but I doubt the bird survived. Very few humingbirds survive a window hit unless anti-inflammatories and a painkiller are administered.
Observing this bird, it is easy to see it has a problem. It tends to slant on its right side, it doesn't try to escape its worst predator (humans), it cannot stand upright, and it has difficulty keeping its eyes wide open. It also has a slight right shoulder problem.
These are all signs of a serious concussion and physical injury.
Yes, it flew off but its shoulder will become progressively worse and it'll have one major headache that will impede its flight abilities.
Good thing we've got people like you, Negative-Nancy.. Or was it Snarly-Suzie?
r3nk0
Snarly-Suzie ???
Let me explain to you... For 19 years now, I've been admitting wild birds in distress/difficulty at my own expense. I have a government permit as a rehabber. For nine years, I was getting over 700 wild birds a summer, from the tiniest hummingbird to owls, falcons and whatever that flies.
This is not my job. I do this to help them and God is proud of me. I work from my home in another field.
Babies must be fed every 20 minutes, 14 hours a day, This, for at least 15 days per baby bird. It takes 12 hours to make the special food preparation (7 ingredients that I make in batches and freeze), the best that will ensure perfect and healthy bone and feather structure. Not Tropican, don't touch the stuff. They are all raised wild and terrified of humans, as it should be. Never any visual contact with the bird. Just keeping heat by convection on featherless and seriously injured birds requires constant checks. I pay all this myself. Snarly Suzie ???
Any long-billed bird that hits a window should never be released before 24 hours.
This said, I only wanted to point out observations people should make before releasing a bird. I took the time to explain it and what do I get in return? SNARLY SUZIE... Shame on you!
Suzie Q
LOL, kudos, epic comeback :-)
r3nk0
Thanks. We all learn new things in life...all of us, all of the time. Remember the feather suggestion I gave afterwards. This works.
The bird in my photo here is a falcon. This guy was found drifting inert in a chemical pond of graphite molasses, a real mess. He was lucky: no chemicals in eyes, ears, nostrils or inside mouth (beak).
Besides the horrible amount of black gummy filth that covered his entire body as well as my kitchen floor after I gave it its first bath, he rewarded me with this very rare photo after his third and last bath. His feathers were still waterproofed and he took off like a real pro when released back in his territory four days later.
Falcons NEVER pose for you. They aim straight for your eyes with lighting speed.
The two first baths over two days, he never reacted, just like in the video. But the last bath, I had called a friend to control the bird's neck because I knew he was very alert and I had to watch for his talons that were flying left and right.
I have many beautiful photos of different species of birds that I've helped, special ones. People often ask me why I do this. I answer 95% of their difficulties are the result of human presence. Someone has to help them. Have a beautiful Sunday. Regards.
Suzie Q
Nice, keep on keeping on !
This is the most beautiful rescue I have seen. Such a sweet little humming bird
Back in my old school in Puerto Rico and hummingbirds were always around the flowers and I enjoyed watching them its so lovely to see them up close and thank God you saved her from being cat food
That is SO sweet, sometimes all it takes is someone that cares enough to help.
What a cool opportunity for studying one of these creatures. I'm glad she came to and could fly away.
Thank you for saving the hummingbird! I just love hummingbirds
It was lovely to see how gentle you were with the wee little bird. Just lovely. ^_^
aww. thanks for helping her and for being so patient with her.
Thats so cute, I'm so glad Mrs. Humming bird got well and flew away.
so cute how gentle you were with her, and how you can easily see how she is slowly getting better. I love hummingbirds, they're just the cutest little dude!
Hummingbirds are so small and adorable. I remember my mom took a picture of one buzzing around her clematis vine before. Looked kinda like the one in this video.
I am 50 and only held a humming bird in my hand once in my life. Let me tell you about it. I was sick, recovering from a bout of very aggressive chemo therapy. I was oh so sick. Sitting in the yard and one came and landed right in my right hand. I talked with him for a good three minutes. He kinda 'squeaked' at me a little. He up and flew away. The next day, the same little guy came back! Again he sat in my hand and squeaked at me. I thanked him for his song and told God 'I get it'.
From what I understand about hummingbirds, it probably would have died of starvation before anything else. Their metabolisms are INSANELY fast due to how fast they flap their wings so they need to eat almost all day in order to survive. Really glad you picked her up when you did!
Beautiful! It's so heartwarming to see people caring for animals and creatures so much smaller than them. So many people don't care at all so this makes me happy :)
He looks like he adopted you. You are soo gentle!.. AND strong!
Not only did you save her, also so gently and carefully trying to pick her up with those big hands. Hard to pick up tiny animals your trying to help without further injury. good job, thanks!
You're lucky to have been that close to a hummingbird! I applaud you for doing the right thing! 😄😄👏👏👏
Wow, you are such a humble person. You were so careful with it and didn't pet her like most people would have.
He can fly! Hummingbirds are like a wonder of the world.
You are an amazing human beign. Thanks for take care about the birds of our planet
Wow! I knew they were small,but seeing it in your hands really shows it!! And you were so gentle too!!
I love helping wild birds.
Love the care shown in picking her up with a leaf.
Beautiful little Bird X....Thanks for Rescuing & sharing this ....X
Ooommmggg
Adorable. We have a humming bird feeder just like yours! Thank you caring for the bird. We had hummingbirds crash into our window. We saved them as much as we can. They're so tiny and adorable.
You have a beautiful heart. Our lives are not superior to any other creatures. We are more selfish and ignorant of other form of lives.
Very touching video. This is example of man at his best.
That is so adorable! I love how delicately you picked her up and then even brought her close to the feeder. She was so docile and seemed to be kinda wondering what was going on haha.
That is amazing what u did for the hummingbird is what most people don't do and how u cared for it that is respect. U are a great human being 💙🕊🎈💃🏽
you picking it up with a leaf was adorable lol. heartwarming video.
Last night I dreamt that I rescued a hummingbird, so it's kind of cool that I stumbled upon your video! I'm glad you were there to give this little girl a hand!
I had the same thing happen to me. It was an immature one but I fed it sugar water and it looked at me as if to say thank you. That same hummer comes to visit me. You never forget and neither do they.
I almost cried . The humming bird Is one of my favorites
I think for a moment there she was grateful and content. I hope you understand you made a difference that day.
Aah, same thing happened to me as well! I believe it was a baby... smacked itself into our glass door- mom thought it was a goner. I had held it in my hand, gently petting it thinking it was gone as well. It seemed to be dazed, for after I had held if for a bit, it came to its senses and flew away. They're so beautiful, seeing it slow down for once was honestly captivating.
