Oh no, I heard the male hummers were showing up. They are soooo hungry after migrating. Do you have a feeder for them? Aa a child I remember a hummer got in our screen porch and broke his beak off. It was horrible.

I bet it got a shock getting stuck by its beak, but I'm pleased to read it wasn't hurt Crenda. Last week I drove round to the back of my house to the garages and there was a sparrow sitting looking at me on the floor. It let me stroke its head and back and after a few minutes ruffled it's feathers and flew into a tree in the front garden. I think it was stunned from crashing into one of the windows, which are nice and large, but confusing for birds as they can see through the room. Not as exotic as your hummer, but still a live thing.

I don't have a feeder, but may need to get one. We were worried about his breaking his beak, too! Thank goodness he came out of it fine (from what we could see).

Wow! So glad he wasn't hurt!!

The feeders are lots of fun. You don't need to buy the red nectar from the store (in fact I think the red dye isn't ideal) just mix sugar water at a ratio of 4 parts water to one part sugar. In the heat I usually have to change the juice out about every 3-4 days to keep it fresh. Sometimes I make a jug and keep it in the fridge so I can do a couple change outs in a week or two without mixing more.

You just reminded me I need to get my feeder up, STAT!

We just had one fly inside the house, then get stuck in the screen as he tried to get out. I think he got away without hurting himself.
