Somebody sent this to my wife to bring to my attention:


This is actually a pretty amazing story about a baby
hummingbird that I

found on a sidewalk. He couldn't fly, so I took him under my
wing. At

night, he would come home to our house for safety. During the
day, he

was in the backyard of the house near where I found him.
About 4 days

after I found him, I was holding him in my cupped hands when
his mama

came by to feed him. She had seen me around, I guess,
because she just flew


over, perched on my hand and then fed him. This happened a number of
times,

so I called a friend who is good with a video camera, and he came
over to film

some of the amazing goings on that I told him about.


There's a lot more to this story, but that's enough info to give
you

some context for the video we posted to You Tube. Here's the link:

Hope that you find it interesting!

I did. )
