Here’s Peter Tommerup’s description of a baby bird rescue – a baby hummingbird!

This is actually a pretty amazing story about a baby hummingbird that was found on a sidewalk.  He couldn’t fly, so I took him under my wing.  At night, he would come home to our house for safety.  During the day, he was in the backyard of the house near where I found him.  About 4 days after I found him, I was holding him in my cupped hands when his mama came by to feed him.  She had seen me around, I guess, because she just flew over, perched on my hand and then fed him.  This happened a number of times, so I called a friend who is good with a video camera, and he came over to film some of the amazing goings on that I told him about.

Are you ready to be amazed? Check out this terrific video posted by Peter’s friend, Gary Breitbard…

Remember the phrase, ‘Random acts of kindness’? Imagine the ripple effect of this one “act” and its story on the world… selfless service to others, kindness, respect for all life…

Quite a legacy from a kind man and a tiny creature!

Let’s all of us be part of the ripple – started by a tiny hummingbird…

(By the way, here’s another video about feeding baby hummingbirds.)
