WHAT TO DO IF A HUMMINGBIRD GETS TRAPPED IN YOUR GARAGE OR HOME

Written by Hummingbird Market online store http://www.hummingbirdmarket.com/index.html

Sometimes hummers are enticed into an open garage by the red accents on your children�s toys or the overhead garage door�s red emergency release handle. Hummers natural instinct is to fly up thus humming around the ceiling. And it will be double stressed and nervous with you present.

* Keep kids and pets away so you don�t further upset and stress the bird.

* Have patience for it to settle down and relax and hope it finds their way out.

* Hang or place a hummingbird feeder near the open door and perhaps it will be attracted and fly outdoors.

* If the above doesn�t work within 10-15 minutes close the garage door and turn off the lights and cover the windows.

* Hummingbirds have poor night vision and don�t like flying in the dark so it may just go to the floor.

* With a flashlight locate the bird and carefully and gently scoop up/ cup the bird with both hands and release outside.

* Please don�t use a butterfly net or throw a towel at the hummer as that may injure a healthy bird.

IF you have a Hummingbird trapped in house:

* Try the above method(s)

* Open windows and doors and maybe it�ll fly out

* Try herding it in the direction of a door or window

Always keep in mind about the very severe laws about having a hummingbird in captivity.

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
