Anna's Hummingbird

By Sarvey Wildlife / Monday, January 2, 2017 /

We had two featured last week as well, and they are both doing well. This latest hummingbird is in critical condition though.


She was found on the ground, stunned, and may have hit something. We don't see any obvious injuries and she was fluttering and using her wings well once she warmed up. She is however in respiratory distress and getting oxygen. We will have to see how she responds to medication and oxygen treatment.


As the temperatures continue to fall this week, small birds like these are likely to be found in torpor. (This is a way for them to reserve energy.) If you have feeders out for the birds, keep them clean and fresh. If you are able to hook up a heat lamp to an outside power source and leave it on, the birds will thank you! Status: died.
