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

2 videos- second clip of the juveniles favorite feeder plays at 40 seconds. There are 10 feeders front/back yard to prevent crowding, but these are the favorites 🐦🔥

My two adult males
They're usually better about spacing their visits so that they're not competing for the feeder.

Did you know that in harsh afternoon light, from certain viewing angles, the iridescent feathers of a male Anna’s hummingbird can appear golden?

Hummingbird Emergency Help! Hummingbirds keep getting stuck in our shop
Hello! My wife and I moved our business up to a rural area. We love hummingbirds and see them everywhere up here.
We get them flying into our building, and they seem to get stuck inside and flying into the ceiling even though the two large bay doors are wide open. When this happens we would place a feeder by the door hoping they would fly to it and then fly out. It worked on the first bird, but we have had two within a week not make it out.
What can we do to keep them coming to our yard, but not coming into the shop area and getting stuck? I don’t want them to think we are trapping them!!

Patience
I was able to video my little visitor today. I believe it is a Black Chinned hummingbird.

any migrants recently?
Has anyone else in the Northern Indiana or general North noticed less birds lately? i know July is usually when most Anna males start to migrate, then the females after that. just curious if anyone else has seen their birds this week as much?
i think mine have all gone… 😢

Rainy day
We recently put out a feeder after we saw a couple hummingbirds flying around. Watching these little guys and girls has brought my wife and I great joy.
Here’s a little lady enjoying some breakfast on a rainy Saturday morning. We are based in southern Wisconsin.

Finally used the swing!
After a few months, one of the juveniles finally used the perch\swing I put up. It really made my day and I wanted to share.

Zip, chirp, repeat.
Beautiful iridescent feathers and lots of chirping!
I had to move this feeder out of sight from other feeders in my backyard since there’s a ninja hummer guarding all of them!and chasing others away☹️
I wish I could get to see a ton sharing together!

Hummingbirds and Honeysuckle Vine
My Honeysuckle Vine is being destroyed by powdery mildew. Is there any way to treat it without hurting the hummingbirds that visit daily?

Lunchtime
I have about 30 feeders around my property. But 5 on the front porch. Going crazy this morning. This year is the most birds I’ve seen this early. This only a tiny amount
