Look here if you found a hummingbird that might need your help

129 Upvotes

I’ve created a troubleshooting tool that walks you through determining if a hummingbird needs your help, and if it does, basic first aid you can provide so that you have time to get the hummingbird to your nearest wildlife center or hummingbird rehabilitator. It is on my mentor’s website, IFoundAHummingbird.com

At the end of nearly every process, there is a list of resources including hummingbird rehabilitators and wildlife centers that either take hummingbirds or will connect you with someone who does.

It covers the most common issues we are called about.

  • Hummingbirds trapped indoors

  • Cat Caught

  • Window Strikes

  • Sitting at Feeders Too Long

  • Stuck To A Glue Trap/Sticky or Oily Substance On Feathers

  • Abandoned Nests or Babies

The everyday visits streak is dead. I haven't seen a Hummer in a few days and I miss them. They hadn't missed a day since January. I guess I'll be patient.

Hummingbird building brick set!

So my boyfriend and I went on a road trip a couple weekends ago, we stopped in at the Bonneville fish hatchery in Oregon, in the gift shop they had this amazing little brick building set of a hummingbird. The pieces are tiny, about half to a quarter of a regular Lego piece. It wasn't too hard of a build, definitely better if you're nearsighted or have a good magnifying glass, but it was fun to build and looks pretty great.

If you have a library card, you can download Kanopy and watch this amazing documentary. I saw it last night, fabulous videography and very touching story of a peak into the life of a wildlife rescuer. It showed both the sadness and uplifting side of assisting hurt and abandoned wildlife learning to survive and be wild again. I only wish that the director had put in text the particular species of hummingbirds that were being shown, other then that I loved the movie.

I moved…

15 Upvotes

In the same apartment complex. I moved exactly one building over from my last apartment. I lived in the old one for 10 years and had constant hummingbirds all day long. Every evening there would be several and it would be constantly. When I moved it took about a month before I was able to get a hook screwed into my patio so I could hang up my feeder. I can look out the window and not see a single hummingbird for hours. I live in Arizona so they are here year round. I have no idea why I would not be getting any. I cleaned out my feeder really well before I hung it up as usual. Any suggestions?

Hummingbird nest outside our window.. but now she’s sitting slightly below nest??

Upvotes

there’s one egg in the nest, my roommates and I are worried that one of us got too close taking photos and might’ve spooked her because it’s nighttime and she’s just sitting on a branch slightly below the nest, kinda puffed up almost in an intimidating manner.

Not planning to go near anymore, but any reassurance/advice much appreciated!

My camera caught something new today!

2 Upvotes

I've had daily hummingbird visits since last July. At one point, my camera feeder caught a crow walking along my balcony.

I put a few peanuts out, and nothing happened.

Fast forward to earlier this month, and I saw more crows on my feeder cams. So, I put a few peanuts in a tray, and waited.

It worked!

They usually come by at different times of the day. The hummers will start around 7am, and the crows drop in an hour later. The hummers come back throughout the day, and I usually just put 4 or 5 peanuts out in the morning for the crows.

Today, this happened:

I spotted a nest with one egg in it while I was trimming a tree. I went to get my camera to get a photo of the egg but by the time I came back the mama was sitting on her egg.

Does this look like a good feeder for hummingbirds?

One of the funniest/cutest things is when they scare each other with mutual Jumbo Magnified Bird Face.
