When finding an injured hummingbird, gently place it in a small, dark container. Keep it warm, quiet, and offer sugar water. Contact a local wildlife rehab center for assistance.
Provide a safe, quiet space for the hummingbird to rest. Avoid handling it too much to reduce stress. Monitor its condition closely for any changes.
Offer a mix of sugar and water in a clean feeder. Change the solution daily to prevent fermentation. Ensure the feeder is accessible but protected from predators.
Avoid feeding hummingbirds honey, artificial sweeteners, or red dye solutions. Stick to a simple sugar water recipe to provide essential energy for the bird's recovery.
If the hummingbird shows signs of improvement, gradually introduce small insects like fruit flies or spiders to its diet. Ensure the insects are safe and free from pesticides.
Continue caring for the hummingbird until it shows signs of strength and can fly again. Release it in a safe area with flowers for nectar and insects for natural feeding.
