remembersarah says: “This baby humming bird was knocked out of a tree near my apartment. Some little boys were trying to feed him worms, so I took him home and made a batch of sugar water for his belly to nom. He was uber friendly and loved being held and licked sugar water out of my hand and off my fingers. I had him outside in a wicker basket overnight, and his mommy ended up coming back for him! True precious story! Highlight of my life.”
What a heartwarming story! Thank you for saving our feathered friend!

Awwww! Baby hummings are the squeest babies!
More like a fingerful. A tiny jewel.
Awww, how totally amazing that story and picture are! I love hummingbirds and you’ve done what I’ve always wanted – held one.
What a smug lil look on its face!! Its like, “Isn’t it ridiculous how adorable I am?”
I can’t believe some kids were trying to feed him worms. Don’t they teach these kids anything in school anymore? (I’m guessing they were of school age, but perhaps not.)
When I was in kindergarten, I remember we had lessons on animals all the time with cute little songs and pictures. That was probably one of the reasons I loved animals so much, because I was taught about them, but most kids do anyway.
Very squee baby anyway. Glad it had a happy ending and his mama came back for him! I just love humming birds.
Used to see them a lot back in the day, but now not so much.
the kids were quite young, i don’t think they realized it was a hummingbird. but they were being rough on him, which is why i took him away so quickly! he was so delicate!
Actually, his mommy didn’t come for him. He tried to fly away, fell a couple stories to the ground, and as he lay in the road stunned from the fall, a guy heading to the convenience store for a late-night vanilla energy drink ran him over, leaving no traces except two tiny, bloody feathers that were sucked into the sewer grate.

Apparently the moderators aren’t doing their jobs anymore.
Aww, little hummybirds are so squee. The ones in my backyard squeak while they’re feeding.
Awwww! its sooo cute! <3
How wonderful!! Good for you for helping! My mom has silk flower baskets outside her door, and I always feel so bad when I see little hummers out there flitting around looking for food!! They keep trying though!
He left it outside in a basket overnight…is anyone else afraid that a neighbourhood cat came for it, not its mother?
i had the basket covered with another wicker basket, and when i woke up, his mom was sitting on top of the basket and they were sqeaking at each other. so i took the top basket off and waited inside the window and watched her come and help him out of the basket and in to the bushes. within a few days they were both coming back to eat at the hummingbird feeder i put out for them.
No, because most of us aren’t joy-sucking, terminally pessimist care trolls like you are.
Aww! My Grandparents have a cabin in North Carolina, and watching the hummingbirds is just awesome.
If you wear bright colored shirts they’ll get really close
