Will found the bird in his garage at eight in the morning, and he was fortunate to have a small syringe on hand to feed and hydrate it.
Good fortune! The bird eagerly drank from the syringe and even gave its rescuer a thank-you smile from above.
It managed to expand its wings after regaining some energy, but it didn’t move.
Several hours later, the hummingbird was still in the garage where it had been saved. The number of wits a hummingbird possesses is unknown.
By 1 pm, it was ready for some more sugar water before taking flight, and its savior was pleased to give it what it wanted.
When it appeared that the bird might need more time than anticipated around 3 p.m., the kind person collected some stuff to create a little nest and continued to feed it from the syringe.
But eventually, it was time to leave, and we observed a hand reach into the tiny plastic box containing the nesting materials and remove the bird (who seemed to be getting pretty comfortable).
It’s very amazing to witness a hummingbird perch peacefully on a person’s fingers. But this tiny bird appeared to understand that it was secure.
In fact, it felt so secure that it chose not to leave.
What’s the rush, after all, if someone offers you a comfortable apartment and free meals that you don’t have to find yourself?
The hummingbird remained there as four o’clock approached, clearly reluctant to leave its new friend.
Fortunately, a few minutes later it made the decision that it was secure enough to go from the comfort of its restorative surroundings.
This is not the first time a hummingbird has gained attention for remaining following a rescue.
A hummingbird in need was found by a man and his brand-new rescue dog, Rex. And the dog was the one who saved the little critter after years of surviving on the dirty streets!
The hummingbird appeared to be dead because it was on the ground, without feathers and coated with ants. But the dog seemed keen about staying.
Ed Gernon thought he should bring it home. And in the end, he nursed it back to health, even using a hairdryer to teach it to fly once more.
The bird, which he gave the name Hummer, spent a long time living in his home. Even after taking off, it would return to see its rescuers!
Hearing about individuals assisting small hummingbirds in need is fantastic. And it’s lovely to watch how appreciative the small birds are.
