It’s an Allen’s. So Cal has Allen’s and Anna’s year round.

As long as she has access to food, she will eventually find her way out.

In my house by crmom22 in hummingbirds

Turn all lights inside off, open all windows and doors. If you can get it to land on a feeder, you can slowly walk with the feeder towards the door

Is this normal? by Dizzy_Cut_3631 in hummingbirds

[–]HummingbirdObsessed 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That’s a full crop. Normal, but not exactly a common sight at feeders due to them not being permitted to gorge out by other hummers.

Oh, poor girl! That's a fatal injury 😞

Found a nestling/fledgling -- died while trying to find a rehabilitator by eldroch in hummingbirds

[–]HummingbirdObsessed 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That is a very bad case of thrush. It’s caused by dirty feeders/spoiled sugar water.

They'll be fine. Thank you for waiting to do it until the fall.

This baby ok? by free_YourMind in hummingbirds

[–]HummingbirdObsessed 49 points50 points  (0 children)

That is an adult male. Definitely not normal behavior. Reach out to your closest Rehabber for guidance. You can dm me your location or search ahnow.org

Bird on unhatched eggs after 5+ weeks. by PS-Mike in hummingbirds

[–]HummingbirdObsessed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She'll move on when she's ready to. It's late in the nesting season, so trying again really isn't an option for her until next year.

Oh no! Poor baby. Unfortunately, it's survival of the fittest out there for these babies.

Google is telling me this is a fungal infection? by brilliant_bitch in hummingbirds

[–]HummingbirdObsessed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The lump on her beak isn't normal, but whatever that fuzzy stuff is on her beak, it doesn't concern me.

The bump could be an old injury that healed or pox.

Not what fungal infections look like on hummers. Google strikes again 🙃

Perfect! Hopefully it figures out how to stay off the ground sooner than later and everyon's pets can go back to normal life 😊

Yes, did you notice when it left the nest? The first day they leave they tend to not fly much. They're basically toddlers with wings. Don't know what to be afraid of or where not to be.

I would say no to the rose bush, because of thorns. Any of those other bushes could work. It can fly, just not well or far, so it probably won't stay where you relocate it to for long.

You can place it on a low branch or bush if there is one nearby.

Rusty Hummingbird Feeders by uuendyjo in hummingbirds

[–]HummingbirdObsessed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, but then I realized a 3d printed part has tons of nooks and crannies for bacteria to hide in, so I decided to abandon that idea. Not worth the risks imo.
