You walk out onto your patio and suddenly see a hummingbird not moving or flying, but cowering in a flowerpot. It tries to fly as you get close, but it can't. What do you do? Is there anything you can do?

Or, what if you find a nest with baby birds and no mother hummingbird around? Is it abandoned? What can you do?

According to Los Angeles Hummingbird Rescue, there is a lot you can do, but first you should call the organization at 310-804-3715 for advice and help.

On Sunday, April 28, at 10 a.m. at Wild Birds Unlimited Teresa Micco, a veterinarian who works in hummingbird rescue, will be showcasing some of her many tiny rescues, as well as talking about what would-be rescuers can do to keep hummingbirds alive until they can get to a rescue center.

According to Los Angeles Hummingbird Rescue, it is possible to sustain the birds until they get to a rescue center with their basic food, nectar, The nectar should be one part plain white sugar to four parts water, nothing else. Use an eyedropper to try to feed them, placing a few drops on the end of the bird's beak.

As for nests, busy hummingbird mothers must find little bugs as well as nectar for their babies. So, they may leave the nest for up to 30 minutes after the chicks are seven to 10 days old. Again, to be sure, call Hummingbird Rescue before doing anything.

During her presentation on April 28 Micco will show some of her beautiful rescues who can't be released into the wild, as well as talk about all things hummingbird. Join us for this delightful presentation.
