Thought I posted this on general bird-watching forum, but it didn't show up. Someone sent me this and thought you would enjoy. The song by Jack Johnson is a great addition, Here is a link that might be useful: Baby Hummingbird

The write-up at the Bird Center listed the person who found him, the location which was in Willis near Milan, that he was found chirping in a garage, and the mother was found dead. There wasn't any information on how he got trapped in the garage or the cause of death of the mother. I became involved with helping with him after a trip to Wild Birds Unlimited in Ann Arbor. My wife wanted to ask their advice for attracting chickadees and cardinals and I went with her. We chatted with the owner and bought some things before heading off to lunch. Upon arriving home, our son told us that Wild Birds Unlimited had called. We called them back, and were referred to the Bird Center. The Bird Center had called Wild Birds Unlimited just after we had left to check for possible release sites, etc. He was released in the country outside of Chelsea where there is good habitat for hummers.

This from Judy. She has updated the page. So far, so good with Boris. Her whole site is a joy. "There are some other hummer pictures and info on my home page, but you have to wade through a lot of krap (scroll down a long ways, that is) to get to that section... www.netpath.net/~jbarbour I just updated the page a bit. We were pretty sad that we weren't allowed to care for Boris while he recovers, but the wildlife rehabilitator assures us that she will come here to release Boris in 10 days, if he recovers as expected. Thanks for adding the link! I will keep everyone posted on our small friend's progress!~ Judy" PS: The syringe 'feeder' trick works wonderfully!

I agree with Lydia, the parents wouldn't be able to help shove it back up to the nest so there's nothing they can do but feed it. Please go help it, it needs you! Oh, be very gentle with it's tiny little feet, they are made for clinging onto things but the legs aren't designed for walking more than a step or two. I bet it's tired!
