Watch a Man Miraculously Save a Hummingbird That Was Trapped in His Garage
Hummingbirds, like all animals, have a few essentials they need for survival. Luckily, the man in the video at the bottom of the page sprang into action to help a dehydrated hummingbird that had gotten trapped in his garage. It’s a heartwarming encounter!
What Attracts Hummingbirds?
Hummingbirds are attracted to flowers (especially of the red variety) and sugar water, which many prepare at home to use in hummingbird feeders. If there’s a birdbath available, a hummingbird may just stop by to drink some fresh water and take a little bath. Unfortunately, artificial flowers may also attract hummingbirds as they think there’s nectar available for them. For those who purposely set out sugar water for hummingbirds, be mindful of keeping it clean and replacing it every couple of days. This ensures hummingbirds never feast on moldy sugar water.
What Do Hummingbirds Need for Survival
Hummingbirds are much like other birds when it comes to their necessities. The habitat they choose must have plenty of food sources, including both nectar and insects. Hummingbirds like birdbaths because they supply them with fresh water, which they also need for survival. Aside from food and water, hummingbirds need a safe nesting site where they can take shelter. There’s plenty of competition out in the wild as hummingbirds search for a suitable place to inhabit. Considering their size, they don’t take up much room, which ultimately works for their benefit. This allows different hummingbird species to coexist in their optimal habitats.
Hummingbird Rescue
When the video below starts, the text on the screen reads, “Hummingbird trapped in our garage overnight. He got dehydrated and fell on the floor.” It’s 8 AM when the man starts filming the hummingbird. It’s sitting still, its pointed bill forward as the man prepares to feed it some sugar water he’s prepared and placed into a syringe. Although the device is unlike anything the hummingbird is used to feeding from, it takes to it right away, searching for the sweet water. After just a little bit of sugar water, it opens its wings and does a little side-to-side dance. The sugar rush is real!
Immediately, it starts flapping its wings and goes in again for a bit more of the sweet water. With its wings outstretched, it happily drinks the sugar water offered by the man. A few hours later, the hummingbird is still sitting, and the man offers a bit more sugar water. The hummingbird is still a bit loopy but it’s regaining its strength. A couple of hours later, the man offers the hummingbird more sugar water. He takes it outside to its natural environment and shares a special moment with the bird before it finally flies away.
