So true, we removed one of our feeders from a window one year and for several years after they kept looking at that same location, so they return to the same area for years later 👍😎
It really is. What a beautiful rare moment. We don't have hummingbirds where I live but a sparrow once landed on my arm and only flew away after five minutes. This encounter was enough to make me feel like a disney princess for the rest of the day. It must have been amazing to save that little hummingbird.
U would be surprised at how trusting they are.. the same hummingbird was at my feeder all last year and he wasn't afraid if me.. I didn't bond well enough to have it land on me but it would land on a plant I was holding.. so close but not quite.
I’ve held a hummingbird before; I had to save it (twice, it flew back accidentally) onto my high school track. I didn’t want a stray ball to hit it or someone to step on it.
This is a real powerful lesson from a strong Father who teaches his child the world is a much more beautiful place when you help a soul just because it is the right thing to do. You have made Soooooooo happy thank you
Believe it or not that hummingbird will recognize you the rest of its life. I’ve been feeding the birds for years now the adults bring their babies to my feeders . They demonstrate no fear of me close up. I rescued a hummingbird from a spider web it returned to my face to thank me . Thanks for feeding the bird back to health .
Apparently birds' brain structure is quite dense and efficient. Hence you have some, like crows, that can be very intelligent. Certainly I'd expect birds to have some memory of "good" and "bad" things like foods or animals or people they encounter as part of their survival mechanisms. But what I've read about crows and related (corvids) is quite amazing, in terms of memory and problem solving skills.
I tried explaining that to my parents, years ago when I was on their arm, but they still dropped me out the basement window, and closed it tightly. I'm waiting for a coal delivery, on the chance.
@@sydney8578 it was hydrating through the day if anything it was “close to death” it was around 8am when he found it not after it was given water and sugar. Time lose the ignorance and realize animals have intelligence of their own. There’s things in the water than can literally shape shift and change colors as they move across surfaces. Your no better than animals just because some human better than you created things you benefit from loser
K2. Humans are nature for sure. Letting nature be nature is one of the most beautiful things we can do. Thank you for your loving perspective. 1 second ago.
I did this for a large bee once who was trapped inside my camper overnight. He was so weak and I scooped him up inside a cup and set him atop a flower head and he immediately began to sip nectar. Its nice to be kind to nature.
I did something as a child.. maybe 8 or 9.. we had an above ground swimming pool, and there were usually a few drowned bugs floating that you had to scoop out before you went swimming.. One day, there was about a dozen black and yellow bees.. not sure what kind.. I thought they would be great for school.. I got a piece of cardboard and covered it with tin foil.. then took each bee and lined them up by size.. Then I got some straight pins from my mom's sewing stuff.. and I stuck pin through the smallest bee and then into the cardboard.. so the bee was suspended about half an inch above the foil.. I had a couple rows of bees and was proud of my project.. I left it outside on the picnic table.. when my mom got home, I went out to get it, to show her, and to my horror, half the bees were alive and buzzing, wings vibrating, legs moving.. I was stunned, sickened, almost.. and I couldn't believe I was responsible .. I honestly don't remember what I did next, but to this day I cant even touch a dead or dying creature
Well maybe this guy actually saved it but if you see a channel that is nothing but animal saving videos, alot of those channels are just people torturing animals and then fake rescuing them
@@jaxx1360 bs a lot want to help the animals tell that indian dog saving videos are fake they just remade the dogs after how sad and badly they looked to become healthy and this guy seems to wanted help this little creature..
Hummingbirds often got stuck in my home/barn and i often found my after they dropped from exhaustion. One literally fell and bounced off my head while i was cleaning. I picked them up and took them outside and grabbed the jug of suger water that we used for the bees, filled the cap and let them drink until they were moving about, then i moved them to perch on a tomato plant and rest more. Little thing hover around me for a few day after that when i was outside.
FUN FACT: hummingbirds are incredibly perceptive and they have the capacity to remember faces, where the nearest feeder is, and acts of kindness. If you save a hummingbird, it is highly likely it will return to you in the future and recognize you!!
You are completely right. Try to tell that to the ignorant. Ignorant of how much animals, even little birds, understand. Magpies stay all life, 2 decades, around same house and know every inhabitant, who is good, who is abusive and infirm other magpies of danger, and they attack the villain!
Theres another video I saw about a guy who rescued a baby humming bird. Fed it sugar water with some crushed up bugs until it was old enough to migrate then let it go. When the migration season was over, the little guy came back to him and stayed with him every year after.
MegaBattie calls this "the juice moment". The moment when the eyes widen in the realization that you are not there to _eat_ them, but rather the bringer of sweets.

The humming bird was starving to death. They Eat A lot. Hummingbirds have a very high metabolism and must eat all day long just to survive. They consume about half their body weight in bugs and nectar, feeding every 10-15 minutes and visiting 1,000-2,000 flowers throughout the day. I love and have pet birds. I have African Finches about the same size and God Bless you for your efforts and patience and for saving it's life.
Absolutely mind blowing. You can tell that the bird trusts him and genuinely appreciates what he's done. There's a special place in heaven for people like this guy!
@@slinkygreyhound6994 of course Islam is the true religion! “And the duty of the Messenger is only to convey (the Message) plainly.” [al-‘Ankaboot 29:18]
I read once that humming birds have an incredibly fine balance to maintain their energy. They have to drink almost all day to survive. You definitely saved its life.
They do have a weird natural defense for when they don't have access to food! Their body goes into an almost stasis mode from what I heard. Still probably saved it since it was stuck in the garage though.
Ennhhh, Yes'n'No? Hummingbird (and there are a beautiful varieties of them!) have an INSANE metabolic rate. They need make a frequent but not constant intake value. What's amazing is some the things they do! When active, their hearts beat, if I recall correctly... Something, like... 200-600 times a minute? But, during sleep, their metabolism and heartrate drop shockingly. Additionally, there is a species of humming bird, that travels between North and South Americas. Flying over the OCEAN to achieve this!
@@GameDevAraz yes. They need to eat sufficiently daily as they have very high metabolism rate. If they don't eat enough through out the day, next morning they won't wake up. So by feeding it, we can make sure for only one day
Brought back a fond memory. Saved his life 💫 I almost stepped on a little baby hummingbird that had fallen from the nest when I was about 18 in in 1980ish. He was going to die. I scooped him up and took him home to figure things out. I loved animals and had many pets growing up but to nurse up a baby hummingbird…once in a life time opportunity. No internet back then so I had to make a soft little nest in a shoebox and used a light bulb for heat. I mixed up some honey and I think wheat germ thinned down with water. Using an eye dropper I fed him every few hours ( middle of night he would make noise when hungry ) I had him for about a month. .. until it was time to let him test his wings. I let him try in our living room and had crash pillows everywhere. Finally he looked strong enough to go outside and fly with his buddies. He sat on my finger just like this lhummingbird in video. He didn’t want to leave. Then ‘poof’ he took off…only to circle back and hover in front of my father and I then take off. I have 110mm photos my mom took somewhere in the house but wish I had better pics. But I have the great memories of my little ‘pet’ hummingbird I saved. This video 45 years later made my night 06/19/24 💫 blessings and much love
That's wonderful! I had a hummingbird fly into our house through the window and when he tried to leave, he hit the window hard and knocked himself out. Poor thing. I picked him up and held him until he came to. When he woke up, he was so scared. Took him out and let him fly. Most amazing thing ever to hold that beautiful little guy and then see him fly off, ok and able to live his life. I'll never forget it. Happened in 1985 right after I was married.

I had a blackbird fall out of the sky at my home in Las Vegas. I gave it some water, shade, glucose, fruit, and it finally got back up to fly away. He keeps coming back at night for the water.
For anyone who finds a hummingbird like this. The recipe is 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. First boil the water, remember to account for evaporation. After boiling the water, shut off the flame and mix the sugar. Stir well so all the sugar dissolves. Once the sugar dissolves let the water cool and reach room temp. Once cooled you can let the hummingbird have it. If you have a syringe like this person did that works. Just brace it against something so it's more stable. You don't need to put the birds entire beck in the tip. Just bring it close, it's tongue can do the rest.
*Cornell states: 1 cup table sugar to 1 cup of water.* That is a 1:1 ratio. Audubon's is great if you also have plants in your garden already. -They also suggest that this is changed every 24-36 hours as sugar rots fast Please do not use any product with dyes. Only a red feeder._
4 parts, 1 part... Why did you over complicate this? Edit: if someone knows the recipe in other measures like cups or tablespoons, that would be more useful.
I had one I found in my shop. I really though it was dead. I had to literally dip his beak in nectar. Took some time, many dips, but it finally prevailed. I'm an old tough guy, but my eyes watered. You did a great thing. No man stands taller than when he helps a helpless creature.
This is so sweet. Thank you for saving that little guy and for taking such good care of him. I'm glad your children got to see that. Beautiful all around
Hummingbirds are such feisty little critters. It's really, really sad to see one at the very end of its tether - a hummingbird this still is on the edge of death. He was completely, totally exhausted (and badly dehydrated to boot). Very young one too - he was a juvie male, probably not long post-fledging. You did a truly good thing here. One never knows what ripples may pass outward from what seems, on the surface, like a small act of decency. And the little birb recognized it! He wanted to be on your arm because he felt safe there, until his batteries were fully recharged and he was ready to move on. Good. For. You. There's a special kind of grace in helping a powerless animal like you did. I wouldn't at all be surprised if you see this little guy again. Put up a hummingbird feeder, and you may end up with a new family of them!
Funny,just yesterday I rescued a cricket from being hit by cars.yes,all life is precious.great job caring for this tiny creature.thumbs up to the person who did that.
@@MaynardsSpaceship facts. Humanity has proven that the amount of good people bring to the world outweighs the bad by a large margin, or the world would have been destroyed already. It proves humans are generally good people. The amount of damage we could do to each other is catastrophic, yet somehow we all exist in a time where there has never been so much abundance than any other time in reality. It is truly a blessing

I found a mantis in a spiderweb in my house once, there was no longer a spider in the web but the mantis was totally stuck so I grab it out the web and took it outside and set it on the fence post but it jumped back on my arm, I then learned mantids can show gratitude with a facial expression which was cute to see from one of nature's more perfect killing machines.
Similar story here, but the mantis was tiny and obviously a baby stuck in some trash, so I took it out, and eventually it just started walking on me and not freaking out. When I tried to let it go, it touched the bush and backed up onto my arm again, but it eventually left. A few days later or so, there was a full grown Mantis in our garage and actually crawled onto my arm without panic, so I like to think it was the same praying mantis.
Notice how the hummingbird bird didn’t fly away so quickly. He/she knew the man was sincerely kind hearted, and just wanted to express his/her gratitude
Well, probably a vastly simplified version of that emotion. He probably thought that he was safe with this particular human, and if he were hungry the human wouldn't let him starve. A hummingbird version of gratitude.

I saved a hummingbird that couldn't fly and was trapped in the limestone dust of a parking lot. I captured him with my bare hands and took him home and nursed him for four hours then when he could fly, I released him. As he flew away I told him to visit soon. The next year and for the following 12 years, we have had swarms of hummers to the point that one feeder wasn't enough. We put up the "race track", seven feeders that wrapped around our tiny house and love every one that visits. I was born able to relate to wild animals. My first saved wild creature was a white duck from a pond where my father was buried. I was four. I am almost sixty now and am unable to continue due to health issues but every day I think about the animals I saved, the ones I lost and the inspiration to others to do the selfless act of caring for what can't take care of itself. Blessings.
There is a little female hummingbird that comes to my window EVERY SPRING. She flutters in place until she knows I have seen her and she does this to tell me she is back for the summer. When her feeder needs more nectar, she flutters in place at the window for me to see her tell me this. She amazes me! I doubt I am the only human she has trained in this fashion! She is very territorial too! She will not let any other hummingbirds near 'her' feeder. I buy her a nice, new one every year with the features she seems to like the most, like perches. She actually likes to sit on a perch instead of flying in place to eat. I love her! I look forward to seeing her every spring.
Same happened to me. Walked into the garage to see him making loops. He began to get tired and rested on the little ledges of the garage door. I had water in a container on the ready and he began to drink. You could see his tiny tongue dart through to the water. I let him fly away and I went to get a hummingbird feeder and some nectar and then he returned. With three friends :)
This honestly made me light up seeing the recovery. You did a pretty big thing for that little guy (or gal). The things that really hits me though, is how the hummingbird actually flew to you, how it let you pick it up, and how it even sat on your arm and knuckles like a perch. Birds don't do that kind of thing unless they REALLY trust you. Birds won't perch in areas they feel unsafe in or don't trust. But you really had this little dude's heart and trust. That's simply amazing. Good job Will. This seriously made me proud.
I second all you just said. That little critter totally knew what you had done... You gave a little life its life back. For that you have been noticed and we salute you. ❤️
I won a bird's trust once. It had been taken off the feeder by a magpie that started trying to eat its little head. I chased off the magpie and stuck around the little guy for a while until I could see that it was still alive, but I didn't try to touch it. I didn't want to scare it worse. After a while, it sort of collected itself, took a few deep breaths, and flew off, but after that, in the whole flock of birds that looked just like it, there was one that would stay on the feeder when I came outside. Didn't even care how hard the door closed. It just sat there on the feeder, watching me, and it had a little shock of feathers sticking up on the back of its head, right where the magpie had attacked. I named it Twitter, both for its chirps and for how social it seemed to be, and it always came back every summer. Statistically I know that my last summer there, when it didn't come, it had probably died. They don't live that long. But a corner of my heart insists that if I go back to that house, I'll see Twitter sitting on the feeder watching me.
@Maytheywonder He sure knew how much you saved his life!!! He probably figured that he was going to see his maker very soon before you saw him and gave him aid to resuscitate him!!! Good on ya!!!!
Definitely. Bird lovers know just how moody and sensitive birds can be. Sometimes it's rare even for domesticated birds to just happily perch on their own owners arm like it's nothing. This man certainly made a friend!
Nothing beats the feeling you get from successfully rescuing a little creature - doesn't matter if its a bird ,cat ,lizard doesn't matter as long as they make it! My sincerest thanks to all the people out there that do their little part and save a life in need, God bless all of you!
I found a dehydrated bee. I showed it to my 8 year old son. We made him a very sugary drink of water. He pepped right up and flew away but only after he stayed with us for awhile thanking us, just like the hummingbird did. My son wasn't afraid after he saw he could save its life.
@@Zhengrui0 no, but we are not speaking of redundant semantical shit.. we are sayin its nice to help a suffering animal, you aren't offering up slab of your calf muscle to a shark to save its life what you asking about rats for, & yeah people even have rats as pets, but wild ones carry disease defeating whatever point u were trying to shit on a good time with lmao
It is not a group animal. It pobably doesn't really have the ability to experience gratitude as that is not really useful for it. The same can't be said about you though. You are very skilled on using sympathy to assess just about anything as if it had a similar system of emotions to you. And that is defenitely not a bad thing. But you may want to be more self aware of it.
@@Hirvee5 ☆ Not a group animal ? Really ? You have much experience with hummingbirds. We have small (dozens) colonies of them in our gardens nearly every morning. Must be aberrations? ....... 👽 ... idk~ °
i like nice. That doesn’t make them a group animal. In fact, they are solitary living animals. They only come together in groups to breed and share a feeder. They don’t even fly together.
@@Hirvee5 😂 They are most certainly "group" animals.... and a group of them is called a "charm". The more you know 💫 😂 I'm sorry that you truly believe animals can't feel or express emotions. You must be a Trump supporter & let me guess..... believe science is a bunch of crap. 🤣
@@FastEddiesfinds idk if you're trolling, and idk what politics have to do with this or how you can just assume what people think. What the guy said might sound harsh but its not entirely false. I might disagree with animals don't feel emotions. But hummingbirds are mostly solitary. "Hummingbirds are not very social at all and live very solitary lives, only coming together to mate or grudgingly share a hummingbird feeder. ... They may swarm a hummingbird feeder to grab a quick snack on their way through town, but they don't fly together. They just like to do their own thing." Got this text from a site literally called "World of hummingbirds". You didn't do any research before shitting on someone but claim to be the one who thinks better of science... How ironic.
With this sentiment in mind, it's shocking that so many people don't extend that grace toward every animal, including the ones they believe they need to eat.
I saw a bee crawling over a leaf in my vegetable garden It was unresponsive to my nudging. I went inside and got some honey and put it in front of her on the leaf. I spent the next ten minutes watching her little tongue lapping at the fuel. She flew away. That just made my day! 😃
I believe all of the crazy wiggling and shaking was the hummingbird coming out of 'torpor'. Humming birds go into torpor at night or during times without a food source in order to conserve energy. The temperature of the hummingbird falls to match the temperature of the outdoors. Also the humming bird's heart rate drops to ~100 bpm (from a resting heart rate of over 1000 bpm during the daytime). Good thing you gave this guy some food... he was doing everything he could to save energy.
I went out early one morning to check my feeders when I noticed a female ruby throat hanging upside down on the perch. I looked at it and it appeared to be dead . It had spider silk around its claws and one foot was locked shut . I carefully removed the silk and held the bird in my palm , it’s eyes were closed but soon opened and all at once it began to move its wings in slow motion, then a bit faster then all at once its afterburners kicked in and it flew away.true story but of course it had no afterburners but other birds don’t know that
I thought this might be torpor as well, but torpor does not last several hours. The hummingbird was in shock and not reanimating from torpor in the video.
There are way more people who are nice, than people who are not. But we don't look at the crime rates and think "oh, less than 25% of the population is committing crime" we think "crime rates are dangerously high, at an average of 20% of the population."

They are so incredibly fragile. I ended up with one that needed help as well. I didn’t have a dropper or syringe but I tried just with a little in a teaspoon. Just that initial part to get him a taste. I was really surprised how fast he caught on that that teaspoon had food. He was where he would start making little chirps or sounds when he was hungry. I had him for about 4 days till he was good to go and right at seasons end where my last one had just left a week before him. The most amazing thing was when I had him in my hand (He was so tiny) and would talk to him and you could see those tiny eyes blink, look at and follow you. That even in such a tiny package there exists understanding.
most birds are pretty flimsy at any rate (except for the flightless ones). Hummingbird gets really down if its battery run out of juice on top of that. I believe they the fastest sugar processing equipment inside of them, compared to other life. It's what enables them to be so very, very fast, to 'hang' around, mid air.
I did something like this with a bee. I went to my balcony one morning and saw a drowned bee in the water, which was ice, from my drink the previous night. I lifted him up on my finger and let him dry in the morning sun. I gently blew on his wings. Presently, I found some jam and let him eat some. It was awesome to feel his tiny tongue on my finger. After about an hour he flew away. It made me happy.
Once at an outdoor restaurant, a butterfly landed on my table. Put a cube of watermelon in front of it and watched extend its spiraled tongue and poke at the watermelon a few times before finding a spot it liked. It moved its tongue around a few times more, each time repeating the poke-around-for-a-good-spot method, then flew off again. Got some pretty good pics too. prnt.sc/uq9dng
Yrs ago I saved a Hummingbird that flew into a garage I was working in, got disoriented...flew up to get out but kept hitting the ceiling, panicked then sat on a steel beam...20ft off the floor...my buddy held a tall step ladder while I retrieved him, dipping a finger on either side of him....I carried him down the ladder and to the open back door...He looked at freedom, the outside, but stayed on my hand as I gently cradled him...felt like minute, then exploded out of my hand and took off. One of my best days on Earth, by far...😇
People in comments are being idiots for saying that the bird has disease, and neolocal damage, while dehydration in birds (and other animals) can easily cause behavioral changed like impaired movement.
@@billycasper3351 Yeah, it's pretty scary. Torpor is like shutting down your car engine. It saves a lot of energy overnight, but it takes a burst of energy to RESTART. If you shut down the engine without enough juice left in the battery to restart it, your car is dead. Same for these cute babies. 😢
Greg Gallacci And thank YOU for the hummer info ... I’ve never heard that before (about topor) and I try to learn something new every day. I really do love hummers. They are so scrappy for all their diminutive size. So seriously thank you for the lesson and for my “word of the day.” 💜
Imagine resigning yourself to being killed and eaten by a freaking giant but instead, he puts you in a box, feeds you until you feel better, and then lets you go.

Yes! Well said. It truly is the little things that matter. Every creature has the same right to live but, we take so much from them it is lovely to see us give back.

I had a sickly little hummingbird who I nursed back to health last year I named Grandpa. He's now healthy and beautiful. He always comes back to pay me a visit.
In this way, I saved almost seven sparrows.. Four were babies, I feed them using a toothpick and yellow canary mash mixed with water.. I hold them on my house and in the end, they flew in and out of windovs, landing in my shoulfers or hands.... One of the most beautiful experiences of my life, and on the life of my son.. ( I'm sure they felt I was one of them, ( I was a private pilot )
Hummingbirds typically live for 3-5 years, and this video is already fiver years old. Since the hummingbird in this video is already matured, it most likely isn't still alive. But hey, it was lucky enough to get saved by a kind hearted man like this, so maybe it was lucky enough to live a couple more years than normal.
@Commentator we have several feeders at my house, generally we make sugar water, boiling the sugar in water to melt it then stir it and store it in the fridge until the feeders need to be exchanged. I would advise against using any nectar with red dye in it, as the dye can often be harmful, despite being their favored color. Better to just get a red feeder.

he's not dehydrated, he;s run out of glucose to power his tiny body, you finally got the syringe set up so he could feed properly, bless you for caring enough to help this tiny creature.
We built a swimming pool for our ducks. It has a plastic lining for easy cleaning. The bees are always in it for water. Some bees get too wet and can't get out. I pull them all out...alive and dead. One morning my neighbor came over needing something as I was saving bees. He asked what I was doing, I told him. He shook his head and said I was crazy. He said... "Do you save flies too?" Too many people don't care.
The first time I saw one sitting in a tree is something I'll never forget. Another male was flying and showing off in front of a perching female, and the male I saw in the tree came flying in, and the males started showing off while trying to chase each other away. The female left at some point during this. Those males were then the most sad hummingbirds I have ever seen.....
I love how in sheer desperation an animals instincts of avoiding predators becomes completely obsolete. The pure will to live is amazing. To put trust in someone or something else in your most vulnerable moment in life can't be understated.
Seems animals don't have an ego, or it's extremely well balanced by their instinct. If you're gonna go anyway, any port in a storm, y'know? Beautiful thing.
I know that a lot of time has passed since you saved this wonderful little bird, but I want to say thank you thanks to people like you - I still believe in humanity, thank you, really thank you for being such a wonderful person I literally cry
@John John ...Honey, no. I entirely disagree with Joe, but you're also wrong. Animals are animals, we simply designate which ones are for food. As for mass producing them that's even worse.
@Joe Taub many, actually. they're very delicious and nutritious. and the best thing is eating wonderful birds and wonderful cows and other wonderful animals doesn't detract from my love of wonderful wonderful animals anyway.
You should’ve kept whistling a tune periodically when you were giving it water. That way, when you’re outside one day, you can whistle the tune again and it will fly down and land on your shoulder because it will remember you helped it.
I did the same thing this summer. Hummingbird had hit the window of Urban Outfitters on 35th street by Macy’s NYC. Hundreds of commuters walking by. I also walked past as it sat on the sidewalk. Then I turned back as it was certain to be stepped on being so tiny. Took the tiny little bird to my office and placed it in a coffee cup. Fed it sugar water through a straw. Closed the lid but left the lid open. Fed it more sugar water for a few hours. By lunchtime the bird was flapping away inside the coffee cup. At lunch time I took the bird I. Cup to Bryant park. Removed the lid. It looked around. Flapped it’s wings for a time. Then I tilted the cup and it flew into the trees. I felt great! 👍🏾👍

That little hummingbird seemed to enjoy his free food and seems like it wanted to hang around a while longer for the sugar water. So happy that he was saved by the kindness of this man.
I saved a bird and it did the same thing, hung about for a while before flying off. Almost like someone who wants to say thanks but doesn’t know the language.
I struck a small owl in the night with my car antenna at 60 mph,, took him home, he recovered in 3 days, flew around the cabin for a week, and then spent the entire summer right there around the cabin.
Chang卓 Because some animals have the brain capacity to remember faces, and acts of kindness associated with those faces, so they will recognize them as a nice person and hang around, perhaps bring a gift like a flower or small animal
I saved a hummingbird a couple of months ago. He flew inside building and kept hitting sliding door until he fell . I picked him up and moved him outside and on porch. He flew 20 feet into a tree and watched me for awhile. My good deed of the day.
Just saw a tv documentary the other night on hummingbirds where they mentioned that because of their high metabolism they have to feed every 10-15 minutes to stay healthy and survive. What this man did to save the hummingbird is beyond a miraculous recovery.
Hummingbirds remember where flowers and feeders are. This one may remember you for years.
Absolutely!
So true, we removed one of our feeders from a window one year and for several years after they kept looking at that same location, so they return to the same area for years later 👍😎
Lovely how u helped this tiny,lovely bird, thank u very much! Grtz, Michèle.

What a privilege to hold a hummingbird like that and save its life.
I love hummingbirds I would have cried.
It really is. What a beautiful rare moment.
We don't have hummingbirds where I live but a sparrow once landed on my arm and only flew away after five minutes. This encounter was enough to make me feel like a disney princess for the rest of the day. It must have been amazing to save that little hummingbird.
U would be surprised at how trusting they are.. the same hummingbird was at my feeder all last year and he wasn't afraid if me.. I didn't bond well enough to have it land on me but it would land on a plant I was holding.. so close but not quite.
I agree. 🥰
I’ve held a hummingbird before; I had to save it (twice, it flew back accidentally) onto my high school track. I didn’t want a stray ball to hit it or someone to step on it.
I am sure his child learned a great lesson of seeing their dad have such compassion and patience.
Great to see.
Didn't we all?

They demonstrate no fear of me close up.

Thanks for feeding the bird back to health .
Apparently birds' brain structure is quite dense and efficient. Hence you have some, like crows, that can be very intelligent. Certainly I'd expect birds to have some memory of "good" and "bad" things like foods or animals or people they encounter as part of their survival mechanisms. But what I've read about crows and related (corvids) is quite amazing, in terms of memory and problem solving skills.

I did something as a child.. maybe 8 or 9.. we had an above ground swimming pool, and there were usually a few drowned bugs floating that you had to scoop out before you went swimming.. One day, there was about a dozen black and yellow bees.. not sure what kind.. I thought they would be great for school.. I got a piece of cardboard and covered it with tin foil.. then took each bee and lined them up by size.. Then I got some straight pins from my mom's sewing stuff.. and I stuck pin through the smallest bee and then into the cardboard.. so the bee was suspended about half an inch above the foil.. I had a couple rows of bees and was proud of my project.. I left it outside on the picnic table.. when my mom got home, I went out to get it, to show her, and to my horror, half the bees were alive and buzzing, wings vibrating, legs moving.. I was stunned, sickened, almost.. and I couldn't believe I was responsible .. I honestly don't remember what I did next, but to this day I cant even touch a dead or dying creature

Hummingbirds often got stuck in my home/barn and i often found my after they dropped from exhaustion. One literally fell and bounced off my head while i was cleaning. I picked them up and took them outside and grabbed the jug of suger water that we used for the bees, filled the cap and let them drink until they were moving about, then i moved them to perch on a tomato plant and rest more. Little thing hover around me for a few day after that when i was outside.
FUN FACT: hummingbirds are incredibly perceptive and they have the capacity to remember faces, where the nearest feeder is, and acts of kindness. If you save a hummingbird, it is highly likely it will return to you in the future and recognize you!!
neonpeacocks: Thank you so much for this comment! God bless you! 😊💕👏🏻

The humming bird was starving to death. They Eat A lot. Hummingbirds have a very high metabolism and must eat all day long just to survive. They consume about half their body weight in bugs and nectar, feeding every 10-15 minutes and visiting 1,000-2,000 flowers throughout the day.
I love and have pet birds. I have African Finches about the same size and God Bless you for your efforts and patience and for saving it's life.

They do have a weird natural defense for when they don't have access to food! Their body goes into an almost stasis mode from what I heard. Still probably saved it since it was stuck in the garage though.

When active, their hearts beat, if I recall correctly... Something, like... 200-600 times a minute? But, during sleep, their metabolism and heartrate drop shockingly.
Additionally, there is a species of humming bird, that travels between North and South Americas. Flying over the OCEAN to achieve this!

Brought back a fond memory. Saved his life 💫 I almost stepped on a little baby hummingbird that had fallen from the nest when I was about 18 in in 1980ish. He was going to die. I scooped him up and took him home to figure things out. I loved animals and had many pets growing up but to nurse up a baby hummingbird…once in a life time opportunity. No internet back then so I had to make a soft little nest in a shoebox and used a light bulb for heat. I mixed up some honey and I think wheat germ thinned down with water. Using an eye dropper I fed him every few hours ( middle of night he would make noise when hungry ) I had him for about a month. .. until it was time to let him test his wings. I let him try in our living room and had crash pillows everywhere. Finally he looked strong enough to go outside and fly with his buddies. He sat on my finger just like this lhummingbird in video. He didn’t want to leave. Then ‘poof’ he took off…only to circle back and hover in front of my father and I then take off. I have 110mm photos my mom took somewhere in the house but wish I had better pics. But I have the great memories of my little ‘pet’ hummingbird I saved. This video 45 years later made my night 06/19/24 💫 blessings and much love
That's wonderful! I had a hummingbird fly into our house through the window and when he tried to leave, he hit the window hard and knocked himself out. Poor thing. I picked him up and held him until he came to. When he woke up, he was so scared. Took him out and let him fly. Most amazing thing ever to hold that beautiful little guy and then see him fly off, ok and able to live his life. I'll never forget it. Happened in 1985 right after I was married.
I'll never cease to be amazed how humans and wild animals can bond so readily where's there's kindness.

@@margybernard They are absolutely fine!
For anyone who finds a hummingbird like this. The recipe is 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. First boil the water, remember to account for evaporation. After boiling the water, shut off the flame and mix the sugar. Stir well so all the sugar dissolves. Once the sugar dissolves let the water cool and reach room temp. Once cooled you can let the hummingbird have it. If you have a syringe like this person did that works. Just brace it against something so it's more stable. You don't need to put the birds entire beck in the tip. Just bring it close, it's tongue can do the rest.
Great advice from a personal healthcare companion
Thank you. I was wondering what the recipe for the sugar water was.
*Cornell states: 1 cup table sugar to 1 cup of water.*
That is a 1:1 ratio.
Audubon's is great if you also have plants in your garden already.
-They also suggest that this is changed every 24-36 hours as sugar rots fast
Please do not use any product with dyes. Only a red feeder._
Thanks!
4 parts, 1 part... Why did you over complicate this?
Edit: if someone knows the recipe in other measures like cups or tablespoons, that would be more useful.

Hummingbirds are such feisty little critters. It's really, really sad to see one at the very end of its tether - a hummingbird this still is on the edge of death. He was completely, totally exhausted (and badly dehydrated to boot). Very young one too - he was a juvie male, probably not long post-fledging.
You did a truly good thing here. One never knows what ripples may pass outward from what seems, on the surface, like a small act of decency. And the little birb recognized it! He wanted to be on your arm because he felt safe there, until his batteries were fully recharged and he was ready to move on.

I saved a hummingbird that couldn't fly and was trapped in the limestone dust of a parking lot. I captured him with my bare hands and took him home and nursed him for four hours then when he could fly, I released him. As he flew away I told him to visit soon. The next year and for the following 12 years, we have had swarms of hummers to the point that one feeder wasn't enough. We put up the "race track", seven feeders that wrapped around our tiny house and love every one that visits.
I was born able to relate to wild animals. My first saved wild creature was a white duck from a pond where my father was buried. I was four. I am almost sixty now and am unable to continue due to health issues but every day I think about the animals I saved, the ones I lost and the inspiration to others to do the selfless act of caring for what can't take care of itself. Blessings.
I love this comment and I love people who love animals. Thank you for your service kind human! ♥️
There is a little female hummingbird that comes to my window EVERY SPRING. She flutters in place until she knows I have seen her and she does this to tell me she is back for the summer. When her feeder needs more nectar, she flutters in place at the window for me to see her tell me this. She amazes me! I doubt I am the only human she has trained in this fashion! She is very territorial too! She will not let any other hummingbirds near 'her' feeder. I buy her a nice, new one every year with the features she seems to like the most, like perches. She actually likes to sit on a perch instead of flying in place to eat. I love her! I look forward to seeing her every spring.
💓💓
That's so neat!!! 😇
I ❤️ your story!
Non-human animals/creatures are amazing!
You are so lucky having hummingbirds in your life, and obviously a lovely person to care for our wildlife, thankyou for being you
Same happened to me. Walked into the garage to see him making loops. He began to get tired and rested on the little ledges of the garage door. I had water in a container on the ready and he began to drink. You could see his tiny tongue dart through to the water. I let him fly away and I went to get a hummingbird feeder and some nectar and then he returned. With three friends :)
“The look in its eyes”
Its eyes: . .
😂
Omg lol !!
cause hummingbirds have expressive qualities
@@yodamday3745 they make noise which is an expression of their being... Animals can definitely express emotion... You never see a scared animal?
😂😂😂
This honestly made me light up seeing the recovery. You did a pretty big thing for that little guy (or gal). The things that really hits me though, is how the hummingbird actually flew to you, how it let you pick it up, and how it even sat on your arm and knuckles like a perch. Birds don't do that kind of thing unless they REALLY trust you. Birds won't perch in areas they feel unsafe in or don't trust. But you really had this little dude's heart and trust. That's simply amazing. Good job Will. This seriously made me proud.
May be a previous life connection
I second all you just said. That little critter totally knew what you had done... You gave a little life its life back. For that you have been noticed and we salute you. ❤️
I won a bird's trust once. It had been taken off the feeder by a magpie that started trying to eat its little head. I chased off the magpie and stuck around the little guy for a while until I could see that it was still alive, but I didn't try to touch it. I didn't want to scare it worse. After a while, it sort of collected itself, took a few deep breaths, and flew off, but after that, in the whole flock of birds that looked just like it, there was one that would stay on the feeder when I came outside. Didn't even care how hard the door closed. It just sat there on the feeder, watching me, and it had a little shock of feathers sticking up on the back of its head, right where the magpie had attacked. I named it Twitter, both for its chirps and for how social it seemed to be, and it always came back every summer.
Statistically I know that my last summer there, when it didn't come, it had probably died. They don't live that long. But a corner of my heart insists that if I go back to that house, I'll see Twitter sitting on the feeder watching me.
A bird will do that if they’re sick or injured and very weak. If this bird was healthy it would have flown away immediately.
@@clcnj5365 not necessarily. There are plenty of recovered birds who developed relationships with their rescuers.
A hummingbird’s metabolism is so fast that they go into semi-hibernation each night otherwise it would starve to death before morning.
That’s actually really interesting

This was heart warming and beautiful to see. The world needs more people like this man.
He was definitely thanking you at the end, before he flew away! The way he looked at you.

He sure knew how much you saved his life!!!
He probably figured that he was going to see his maker very soon before you saw him and gave him aid to resuscitate him!!!
Good on ya!!!!
Definitely. Bird lovers know just how moody and sensitive birds can be. Sometimes it's rare even for domesticated birds to just happily perch on their own owners arm like it's nothing. This man certainly made a friend!

Many thanks for your appreciation good sir!
I found a dehydrated bee. I showed it to my 8 year old son. We made him a very sugary drink of water. He pepped right up and flew away but only after he stayed with us for awhile thanking us, just like the hummingbird did.
My son wasn't afraid after he saw he could save its life.
If a rat were to walk in here right now, as you're reading, would you greet it with a saucer of your delicious milk?
Ditto!
@@Zhengrui0 no, but we are not speaking of redundant semantical shit.. we are sayin its nice to help a suffering animal, you aren't offering up slab of your calf muscle to a shark to save its life what you asking about rats for, & yeah people even have rats as pets, but wild ones carry disease defeating whatever point u were trying to shit on a good time with lmao
When the hummingbird was on his arm, definitely that was an expression of gratitude.
It is not a group animal. It pobably doesn't really have the ability to experience gratitude as that is not really useful for it. The same can't be said about you though. You are very skilled on using sympathy to assess just about anything as if it had a similar system of emotions to you. And that is defenitely not a bad thing. But you may want to be more self aware of it.
@@Hirvee5 ☆
Not a group animal ?
Really ?
You have much experience with hummingbirds.
We have small (dozens) colonies of them in our gardens nearly every morning.
Must be aberrations?
....... 👽 ... idk~ °
i like nice. That doesn’t make them a group animal. In fact, they are solitary living animals. They only come together in groups to breed and share a feeder. They don’t even fly together.
@@Hirvee5 😂 They are most certainly "group" animals.... and a group of them is called a "charm".
The more you know 💫
😂 I'm sorry that you truly believe animals can't feel or express emotions. You must be a Trump supporter & let me guess..... believe science is a bunch of crap. 🤣
@@FastEddiesfinds idk if you're trolling, and idk what politics have to do with this or how you can just assume what people think.
What the guy said might sound harsh but its not entirely false. I might disagree with animals don't feel emotions. But hummingbirds are mostly solitary.
"Hummingbirds are not very social at all and live very solitary lives, only coming together to mate or grudgingly share a hummingbird feeder. ... They may swarm a hummingbird feeder to grab a quick snack on their way through town, but they don't fly together. They just like to do their own thing."
Got this text from a site literally called "World of hummingbirds".
You didn't do any research before shitting on someone but claim to be the one who thinks better of science... How ironic.
People underestimate the intelligence of animals and their ability to show love. Very beautiful!
To show kindness to a small, helpless creature at his mercy, is the greatest act of power that a human can display.
Agreed.
As long as that creature is cute or something i am interested in i would be down for it
With this sentiment in mind, it's shocking that so many people don't extend that grace toward every animal, including the ones they believe they need to eat.
@@wolfnation100 I agree 100%. Which is why I don't eat animals; it's unnecessary, oppressive, and therefore unethical. :)

I saw a bee crawling over a leaf in my vegetable garden It was unresponsive to my nudging. I went inside and got some honey and put it in front of her on the leaf.
I spent the next ten minutes watching her little tongue lapping at the fuel. She flew away.
That just made my day!
😃
I believe all of the crazy wiggling and shaking was the hummingbird coming out of 'torpor'. Humming birds go into torpor at night or during times without a food source in order to conserve energy. The temperature of the hummingbird falls to match the temperature of the outdoors. Also the humming bird's heart rate drops to ~100 bpm (from a resting heart rate of over 1000 bpm during the daytime). Good thing you gave this guy some food... he was doing everything he could to save energy.
1000 bpm holy shit
I went out early one morning to check my feeders when I noticed a female ruby throat hanging upside down on the perch. I looked at it and it appeared to be dead . It had spider silk around its claws and one foot was locked shut . I carefully removed the silk and held the bird in my palm , it’s eyes were closed but soon opened and all at once it began to move its wings in slow motion, then a bit faster then all at once its afterburners kicked in and it flew away.true story but of course it had no afterburners but other birds don’t know that
Correct ... hummingbird metabolism slows down to a fraction of what it is in daytime ... otherwise they’d die overnight.
@@smallstudiodesign For what people don't know they do sleep. There's a UA-cam video showing a hummingbird snoring.
I thought this might be torpor as well, but torpor does not last several hours. The hummingbird was in shock and not reanimating from torpor in the video.
"Thank you, ugly flower."
LMAO

They are so incredibly fragile. I ended up with one that needed help as well. I didn’t have a dropper or syringe but I tried just with a little in a teaspoon. Just that initial part to get him a taste. I was really surprised how fast he caught on that that teaspoon had food. He was where he would start making little chirps or sounds when he was hungry. I had him for about 4 days till he was good to go and right at seasons end where my last one had just left a week before him. The most amazing thing was when I had him in my hand (He was so tiny) and would talk to him and you could see those tiny eyes blink, look at and follow you. That even in such a tiny package there exists understanding.
most birds are pretty flimsy at any rate (except for the flightless ones). Hummingbird gets really down if its battery run out of juice on top of that. I believe they the fastest sugar processing equipment inside of them, compared to other life. It's what enables them to be so very, very fast, to 'hang' around, mid air.
I did something like this with a bee.
I went to my balcony one morning and saw a drowned bee in the water, which was ice, from my drink the previous night. I lifted him up on my finger and let him dry in the morning sun. I gently blew on his wings.
Presently, I found some jam and let him eat some. It was awesome to feel his tiny tongue on my finger. After about an hour he flew away.
It made me happy.
Are you sure it was a bee, not a wasp?
@@ТаСу-ю3л Well, we weren't formally introduced, but seeing as it looked like a bee, and I didn't try to kill it with fire, I'd say it was a bee.
Have done that my self more then once and yea you could really feel their tongue, feels so cool.
@@count7340 XD
Once at an outdoor restaurant, a butterfly landed on my table. Put a cube of watermelon in front of it and watched extend its spiraled tongue and poke at the watermelon a few times before finding a spot it liked. It moved its tongue around a few times more, each time repeating the poke-around-for-a-good-spot method, then flew off again. Got some pretty good pics too.

He was so cute, he just stared up at you like “Thank you for caring for me 🥺”
Yrs ago I saved a Hummingbird that flew into a garage I was working in, got disoriented...flew up to get out but kept hitting the ceiling, panicked then sat on a steel beam...20ft off the floor...my buddy held a tall step ladder while I retrieved him, dipping a finger on either side of him....I carried him down the ladder and to the open back door...He looked at freedom, the outside, but stayed on my hand as I gently cradled him...felt like minute, then exploded out of my hand and took off. One of my best days on Earth, by far...😇
It wanted you to know it appreciated your help.
❣️💞💕💖💖
People in comments are being idiots for saying that the bird has disease, and neolocal damage, while dehydration in birds (and other animals) can easily cause behavioral changed like impaired movement.
Hummies go into a light hibernation, called topor, when they sleep.
If they are hurt or dehydrated, they often never wake up.
He was saying thank you!
'Never waking up' fact shook me.
@@billycasper3351 Yeah, it's pretty scary. Torpor is like shutting down your car engine. It saves a lot of energy overnight, but it takes a burst of energy to RESTART.
If you shut down the engine without enough juice left in the battery to restart it, your car is dead.
Same for these cute babies. 😢
Greg Gallacci And thank YOU for the hummer info ... I’ve never heard that before (about topor) and I try to learn something new every day. I really do love hummers. They are so scrappy for all their diminutive size. So seriously thank you for the lesson and for my “word of the day.” 💜

Yes! Well said. It truly is the little things that matter. Every creature has the same right to live but, we take so much from them it is lovely to see us give back. Please feed the stray cats and wildlife this winter. Carry a bag with winter birdseed, raw peanuts and kitten chow. Vienna sausages, cat food cans leave for racoons possoms, cats, ducks, feed chained( report this) outside dogs some fatty meaty food ( spam, sausages) to help them survive. Put boxes, styrofoam coolers with towels in yard or park and leave food under cars in pkg lots you will fill a starving cold belly. You will be blessed.
It's what we have to do as decent people. Sometimes people might think things like this are a waste of time or stupid but id rather die helping something than not have the compassion inside of me not to. I know it sounds cliche but it's the little things in life that matter
@@blazeaglory ... l agree, it is so worth stopping whatever we're doing, or even missing an appointment, to save a life or prevent any more suffering. Those thinking our patience is stupid are the waste of time.

That is how humanity is supposed to work. You can be big and tough, but compassion, is a must.

I love that he didn't want to leave right away. He was tired, comfy and full. Hopefully he's happily drinking nectar as I type this.
it was 100% dead when you were typing that. hummingbirds only live for 5 years at most.
Hummingbirds typically live for 3-5 years, and this video is already fiver years old. Since the hummingbird in this video is already matured, it most likely isn't still alive. But hey, it was lucky enough to get saved by a kind hearted man like this, so maybe it was lucky enough to live a couple more years than normal.
@Commentator we have several feeders at my house, generally we make sugar water, boiling the sugar in water to melt it then stir it and store it in the fridge until the feeders need to be exchanged. I would advise against using any nectar with red dye in it, as the dye can often be harmful, despite being their favored color. Better to just get a red feeder.

Too many people don't care.
Every time I begin to get cynical about Life, and People, I see something wonderful like this...and feel more positive!

The first time I saw one sitting in a tree is something I'll never forget. Another male was flying and showing off in front of a perching female, and the male I saw in the tree came flying in, and the males started showing off while trying to chase each other away. The female left at some point during this. Those males were then the most sad hummingbirds I have ever seen.....

I did the same thing this summer. Hummingbird had hit the window of Urban Outfitters on 35th street by Macy’s NYC. Hundreds of commuters walking by. I also walked past as it sat on the sidewalk. Then I turned back as it was certain to be stepped on being so tiny. Took the tiny little bird to my office and placed it in a coffee cup. Fed it sugar water through a straw. Closed the lid but left the lid open. Fed it more sugar water for a few hours. By lunchtime the bird was flapping away inside the coffee cup. At lunch time I took the bird I. Cup to Bryant park. Removed the lid. It looked around. Flapped it’s wings for a time. Then I tilted the cup and it flew into the trees. I felt great! 👍🏾👍
1 Atom 12 it’s near my office. It’s reopened now. The Looters looted. The BLM folks protested. For the most part, they are not the same. See it the following: ua-cam.com/video/llci8MVh8J4/v-deo.html
And we can disagree. But I live this life every single day. BLM only seeks a better America.
That little hummingbird seemed to enjoy his free food and seems like it wanted to hang around a while longer for the sugar water. So happy that he was saved by the kindness of this man.
I saved a bird and it did the same thing, hung about for a while before flying off. Almost like someone who wants to say thanks but doesn’t know the language.
Damn, that is profound.
Yes! That is exactly what they do, they hung around look at you for a while and then fly off . They are definitely thanking you ❤
I struck a small owl in the night with my car antenna at 60 mph,, took him home, he recovered in 3 days, flew around the cabin for a week, and then spent the entire summer right there around the cabin.

Because some animals have the brain capacity to remember faces, and acts of kindness associated with those faces, so they will recognize them as a nice person and hang around, perhaps bring a gift like a flower or small animal
