as far as touching the birds its prolly not a good idea if you don't need to, especially the nest as it can alert predators of there position, cats like to mess with em, try to use a latex glove or something and chase cats off with a BB gun on low pressure..
humming birds are crazy, if I don't keep the feeders full they'll raise hell, spoilt lil' shits, one momma built her nest on a branch near the deck the feeders are on, we kinda kick it now, the male is jealous he comes by and ruffles his throat feathers mean muggin me.. too funny
it probably would have died if she didnt bring it to its sibiling. An animal may have carried it under there or the wind. Not all times, but sometimes, animals need a little help. Its not like she took it out of the nest! She saved its life..
To anyone that says that mother birds will not touch their young if they have a human scent on them, that is completely not true! I've owned and handled many birds and I know first-hand that if you handle a baby bird (even a humming bird) its mother will still take care of it. In fact, they get rather upset if a human interacts or even goes near their young so I highly doubt that they would ever stop taking care of them just because someone touched them. Not to touch them is just a wives' tale.
All these city raised dip-shits are clueless about how life really is away from the TV and the twisted academic college-boy BS they program themselves with.
In the country this type of thing happens all the time with various animals and few times ever did the mother or father want to be apart from the baby,chick,pup,cub. You have animal rescue after storms they get back together or another nurses them back to health.
If Mother Nature wanted that one dead it would be dead. AKA Nature's reality!
hey don't touch it !! haha just kidding. of course, we don't know if mother is back or not just want help and save life. God will proud of you. Praise ot the Lord. :)
sweety don't listen what u should and should not do , just do what it feels right in your heart . If u are an animal lover , u will do the right thing :) so happy that u got a chance to save a life . Be proud !
About 4 months ago, a baby bird flew into a window in my house. I went outside and found him on the ground completely stunned. I've heard forever that if you touch it, the mother will abandon it. However, it seemed he was in rough shape and needed attention. I held it for about 15 minutes until he was able to fly onto a fence. The mother came back for him about 5 minutes later. She was obviously watching the whole thing unfold.
@Khayl88 lol. And that's what makes it so much worse to get all this 'advice' on how to handle the bird. That and I live 2000 miles from where this happened! lmao.
@Khayl88 their parents wont accept those anymore and will be left to die btw , pro! keep touching animals and rub yr smell on them , thats how humans ruin most things in nature
@Khayl88 nah i read it , but its still plain wrong, put em back in the nest and get the fuck outa there , the mother will take care of it or he will take care of himself either way i´v been a member of the local bird watch in my youth and they teach you not to do this what so ever , one thing is to go ooh aaah touch touch , but thats where humans dont think with their heads , its wrong for humans its normal to pet and adore for nature its a death sentence
@dreakheart True, the right thing to do is put back wherever it was as soon as possible. We wouldn't like strangers (even within the same species) fondling with our child LoL.
I know it was posted already, but I'm gonna post it AGAIN. Birds have a horrible sense of smell. They will be just fine if you put them in the nest right away.
@Xadanar Two things: it is a myth, i.e. not true that mother birds won't come back after a human has touched it. Also, in this case, the mother DID come back. And this has already happened! I don't go around randomly grabbing birds- I only picked this one up because he was 2 seconds away from being either a pancake or dog food/toy.
@toadlytadpole i duno.. superstition? XD or rather they're just plain stupid. its like "humaism" or something, brids dont dump their kids just cause U grabbed em! LOL. and according to the LOGIC fibre embedded in us, its not true. lol. BABY BIRDS ARE SO CUTE! dimn :p
My cat caught a hummingbird once :3 It might've been a baby, but it flew around the inside of the house a bit when it recovered from shock lol It was so cute c:
I LOVE hummingbirds. Once there was one on my back porch, my older brother came to me to see if I could safe him, sadly when I found him, his neck was broke and he died in my hands. I burried him... A few weeks later I found another on my back porch flyin around, I caught him. Wen I took him out to release him, he stayed in my hand for a few mins and let me pet him, then he flew off. I was tickled to death by the little cutie(:
It's easy to see why the "human scent" myth is a myth. Baby birds are being banded in regular basis by biologists. They're taken out of nest, touched with bare human hands, examined, banded and put back in the nests. Even after all that none of the parents abandon the babies. They may be surprised by the new "bracelets", but other than that their normal family life goes on.
I hope the negative comments do not deter you from posting again. The video was perfect and your description gave us the rest of the story. What more could we ask for in a brief unexpected moment in time.
Thank you for sharing that moment with the u tube community! xoxo
Yeah I rescued an injured pigeon a few weeks ago. It was lying in the middle of the street and I saw it there just looking all scared. it couldn't move much, so I picked it up and I left it near a big tree away from the streets. Along of that, there was a baby kitten in the street but it was already dead........ :(
what a beautiful video. You may want to take a look at my videos of a hummingbird landing on my nose and one landing on my lower lip. I am very careful not to hurt them. Thanks again for this beautiful video.
This is a fledgling. S/he did not fall out of the nest but simply left the nest. It is a vulnerable time in a bird's life as they are still dependent on their parents and will continue to be fed during this crucial learning period. I am relieved to hear that you did not take the fledge away from the family where they have the best chance of survival. The opening of the mouth during the petting is a stress response of a bird who feels threatened.
@deicidalmaniac This is an old wives tale. Most birds, except turkey vultures and some ocean goers, have a very poor sense of smell. What might keep adults away from handled offspring is the continued presence of people. Simply back far enough away and quietly observe. Researches handle and tag nestlings/fledglings often.
@deicidalmaniac If you've killed them because they have been touched by humans, yes. Even if too long a period of time has lapsed and the parents have abandoned the site, you can still find a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. Google: wildliferehabinfo to find one. First link. In the States most species are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and it is a federal offense to kill them or even have them in possession without a permit. Australia may be similar. At least now you know.
@5599lovebird For the love of God, I wasn't filming. Oh, and it was a cheapo camera that was a million years old. Sorry it doesn't meet your high standards. :P
I saved a blessed hummingbird once and gave him homemade nectar.
Once he drank every last drop, he took one look at me and zipped up into the white pine as if to say 'thank you'. I'll never forget that sacred moment as long as I live.
Love your video. I normally don't comment on videos, but I had to on this one. So glad you did the right thing and left the little guy with its sibling. A lot of people would've tried to take care if it themselves and that can have a very unhappy ending. Good for you! Also, I used your video on a website I write for called The Daily Cute. If you'd like a link to the post, message me and I'll send it to you.
How cute!!! Bless the little fella! I wish i could have held one too! I'm so glad you saved him and could watch him over the next few days to make sure he was ok!
Thank you for saving the baby hummer and thanks for sharing the video. What a wonderful experience for you to see him stay on the fence for 3 days then fly off. I suppose it happens all the time but we don't see it. It's a big, scary world for a baby hummingbird.
That is awesome I found a humminbird today a baby one I didn't know if it was injured but I called a place called fallen feathers and they came and picked up the bird to care for it.
Thank you so much for being alert and noticing this little baby needed saving! Just in case you ever find another baby bird, remember, stroking or petting them is experienced as if they were being preyed upon or severely threatened. In nature, birds do not experience gentle petting, so this kind of contact is very stressful--who knew??? Again, many, many thanks and bravo!
@GinTrevena Not sure why you think I was yelling at it. READ THE DESCRIPTION... this happened at a PARTY with CHILDREN. Of course there is shouting and carrying on. The whole party of 30+ people wasn't exactly fixated on this one little event going on. Next time, read the description for the full story before saying stupid stuff like that.
@imparfaite he does have a point though...i have a lot of experience with animals and believe it or not, birds can die of fear pretty easily. Petting it may seem calming to you, but it is extremely frightening to him as he is not used to being touched at all, and the way he was holding his beak up means he was trying to threaten you. Alls well that ends well though!! :)
I wanted to add that I read the rest of your post and realize that you were successful in putting the baby in a safe area near it's sibling!!! That was a brilliant move on your part and thank you for being so observant! Bravo.
I wanted to add that I read the rest of your post and realize that you were successful in putting the baby in a safe area near it's sibling!!! That was a brilliant move on our part and thank you for being so observant! Bravo.
When baby hummingbirds fledge they are often on the ground for the first day...by holding and petting this bird, even though your intentions were good, you have stressed it very severely and separated it from it's mother who would have been feeding it on the ground. I hope you put it back where you found it and stepped away.
@BlossomEndRot try reading her description, when you do you'll note that they found it's sibling and placed it beside it. The mother came by later and fed it, therefore that tells us, that all is well.
Your words of admonishment are redundant as they are after the fact. Giving instruction for future knowledge is one thing, however, your comments relate to real time. I think you just wanted to hear yourself talk. This was an act of innocent kindness, don't belittle it.
@pateho , I agree. But you have not given me any credit for correcting my comment. You should read one post above my comment to which I corrected what I misunderstood. Maybe, pateho, you just wanted to hear yourself talk.
Other than some species of vulture, birds have spectacularly terrible senses of smell. So that argument falls flat on its face right there.

For future advice, though, hummingbirds can easily die from stress (easier than other birds), and petting it certainly wasn't calming it.

Thank you for saving the baby hummer and thanks for sharing the video. What a wonderful experience for you to see him stay on the fence for 3 days then fly off. I suppose it happens all the time but we don't see it. It's a big, scary world for a baby hummingbird.

Thank you so much for being alert and noticing this little baby needed saving! Just in case you ever find another baby bird, remember, stroking or petting them is experienced as if they were being preyed upon or severely threatened. In nature, birds do not experience gentle petting, so this kind of contact is very stressful--who knew??? Again, many, many thanks and bravo!

@GinTrevena Not sure why you think I was yelling at it. READ THE DESCRIPTION... this happened at a PARTY with CHILDREN. Of course there is shouting and carrying on. The whole party of 30+ people wasn't exactly fixated on this one little event going on. Next time, read the description for the full story before saying stupid stuff like that.

@imparfaite he does have a point though...i have a lot of experience with animals and believe it or not, birds can die of fear pretty easily. Petting it may seem calming to you, but it is extremely frightening to him as he is not used to being touched at all, and the way he was holding his beak up means he was trying to threaten you. Alls well that ends well though!! :)

I wanted to add that I read the rest of your post and realize that you were successful in putting the baby in a safe area near it's sibling!!! That was a brilliant move on your part and thank you for being so observant! Bravo.

When baby hummingbirds fledge they are often on the ground for the first day...by holding and petting this bird, even though your intentions were good, you have stressed it very severely and separated it from it's mother who would have been feeding it on the ground. I hope you put it back where you found it and stepped away.

@BlossomEndRot try reading her description, when you do you'll note that they found it's sibling and placed it beside it. The mother came by later and fed it, therefore that tells us, that all is well.
Your words of admonishment are redundant as they are after the fact. Giving instruction for future knowledge is one thing, however, your comments relate to real time. I think you just wanted to hear yourself talk. This was an act of innocent kindness, don't belittle it.

@pateho , I agree. But you have not given me any credit for correcting my comment. You should read one post above my comment to which I corrected what I misunderstood. Maybe, pateho, you just wanted to hear yourself talk.
