This little baby hummingbird either tried to wing it before his time or was a victim of foul (or fowl) play; however, a rescue operation is now in effect at the “Doolittle” home.
We took him to a vet who does rescue, but given that he flew around the room, they sent him home for us to release. But he is not ready to be on his own. He had perched on the same branch (my neighbor placed him on) all night and all morning. He had no food and was crying.
And he has not even tried to leave the box since we brought him home. So as of now, we are rehydrating him and keeping him in the bathroom till he seems strong enough to make it and not be cat food. So cute!
Bless your heart! Maybe something happened to Mama?
ReplyDeleteI'll be posting the rest of the story from today. We found mama, and it is a happy ending! Yay!
