For those who didn't know, my Lab brought us a hummingbird yesterday. Pretty amazing since I haven't even filled my feeders since May and with this drought I have no flowers right now.
Her wing feathers are missing on one side, but there does not appear to be damage to the wing itself. We've had her for over 24 hours and she's looking alert and moving around a bit.
I'm giving her hummingbird nectar and it looks like she must be drinking it it. Ater all, theyneed about 55 meals a day.
Don't know what I'm doing here!! Just playing it by ear. Do you think those wing faethers will grow back? If I put her outside I have 2 kitties that would chomp her up ( and 24 chickens who might think of doing so!)
