@BATREZ123 I just shot the vid, I dunno what the rehabber is feeding it
what did u feed it?
So tiny !
the bird parents didnt return
I think the rehabber tried to keep feeding it but the parents didn’t return
@videoapparatus why did he died?? :(
soo cute :3
for about two weeks
did the humm survive?
maybe try mushing up some tiny bugs in there?
oops… well… im actually feeding it with pure nectar, and its “fully alive” i just really hope it can survive (the funny thing is that as soon as he hears me, he puts up his head high so i can feed him ^_^ its actually pretty cute =D)
this is an approximate answer to what to feed it:
“The mother hummingbird will eat nectar and bugs and then regurgitate it into a slurry substance the baby hummingbirds can digest. She will feed this mixture to the baby hummingbirds approximately every twenty (20) minutes. A baby hummingbird needs the mother hummingbird to feed them. Baby hummingbirds can not drink hummingbird nectar like adults do because there is not enough protein in the regular hummingbird nectar.” from some website
I’m sorry, I don’t know what they eat.
I just happened to shoot this video.
Call a vet where you are maybe the vet would know of a rehaber near you
aaww i have now one baby hummingbird in my patio, and the other one just died a few minutes ago because the mom abandoned them, now i dont know how to feed it! :’( i gave it sugar water, but… i dont think its gonna make it
