Watch the look in its eyes at the end. Hummingbird rescue 

Hummingbirds remember where flowers and feeders are. This one may remember you for years.

Him not leaving and chilling on your arm was that animals own sentient way of saying thank you

What a privilege to hold a hummingbird like that and save its life.

Yrs ago I saved a Hummingbird that flew into a garage I was working in, got disoriented...flew up to get out but kept hitting the ceiling, panicked then sat on a steel beam...20ft off the floor...my buddy held a tall step ladder while I retrieved him, dipping a finger on either side of him....I carried him down the ladder and to the open back door...He looked at freedom, the outside, but stayed on my hand as I gently cradled him...felt like minute, then exploded out of my hand and took off. One of my best days on Earth, by far...😇

I am sure his child learned a great lesson of seeing their dad have such compassion and patience. Great to see.

FUN FACT: hummingbirds are incredibly perceptive and they have the capacity to remember faces, where the nearest feeder is, and acts of kindness. If you save a hummingbird, it is highly likely it will return to you in the future and recognize you!!

I did this for a large bee once who was trapped inside my camper overnight. He was so weak and I scooped him up inside a cup and set him atop a flower head and he immediately began to sip nectar. Its nice to be kind to nature.

teaching his kid this kindness is as important as saving this little bird.

When the humming bird flew up to his arm instead of going in the box at the end. My heart melted

In a world gone crazy, it is good to see kindness like this.

A man stands tallest when he's stooping down to help a smaller creature.

May the nurturing and kindness you gave to this precious bird be returned to you exponentially.

I read once that humming birds have an incredibly fine balance to maintain their energy. They have to drink almost all day to survive. You definitely saved its life.

A bucket list item you didn't know you wanted. To hold a hummingbird.

Absolutely mind blowing. You can tell that the bird trusts him and genuinely appreciates what he's done. There's a special place in heaven for people like this guy!

The humming bird was starving to death. They Eat A lot. Hummingbirds have a very high metabolism and must eat all day long just to survive. They consume about half their body weight in bugs and nectar, feeding every 10-15 minutes and visiting 1,000-2,000 flowers throughout the day. I love and have pet birds. I have African Finches about the same size and God Bless you for your efforts and patience and for saving it's life.

You just made a 270 pound trucker cry. God bless you for taking the time and showing the compassion to save this little guy's life.

saving this small creature is a big deed

This hummingbird will tell the story of how a giant creature saved him from certain death

Thank you for your empathy, patience, and dedication getting this little one back on track again.

For anyone who finds a hummingbird like this. The recipe is 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. First boil the water, remember to account for evaporation. After boiling the water, shut off the flame and mix the sugar. Stir well so all the sugar dissolves. Once the sugar dissolves let the water cool and reach room temp. Once cooled you can let the hummingbird have it. If you have a syringe like this person did that works. Just brace it against something so it's more stable. You don't need to put the birds entire beck in the tip. Just bring it close, it's tongue can do the rest.

I had a blackbird fall out of the sky at my home in Las Vegas. I gave it some water, shade, glucose, fruit, and it finally got back up to fly away. He keeps coming back at night for the water.

Imagine resigning yourself to being killed and eaten by a freaking giant but instead, he puts you in a box, feeds you until you feel better, and then lets you go.

People underestimate the intelligence of animals and their ability to show love. Very beautiful!

All life is precious thank you for saving this sweet baby

"In a world where you can be anything, be kind."

I'll never cease to be amazed how humans and wild animals can bond so readily where's there's kindness.

This is so sweet. Thank you for saving that little guy and for taking such good care of him. I'm glad your children got to see that. Beautiful all around

A man never stands so tall as when he stoops to help an animal............Thank you kind sir.

Unlike many animals, hummingbird may die within 24 hour of not ingesting food because of their ridiculously high metabolism rate

He didn't wanna leave because you're his friend.

Almost no one has your patience. Thank you so much for saving that little bird. They are so precious.

Hummingbird: * has first drop of nectar * It's brain: **RECALCULATING**

You spoiled him. That face at the end, he's saying "Ya sure you don't wanna keep me? I'm pretty cute!"

Notice how the hummingbird bird didn’t fly away so quickly. He/she knew the man was sincerely kind hearted, and just wanted to express his/her gratitude

That little hummingbird seemed to enjoy his free food and seems like it wanted to hang around a while longer for the sugar water. So happy that he was saved by the kindness of this man.

This is the side of humanity that gives me hope for the world.

There is a little female hummingbird that comes to my window EVERY SPRING. She flutters in place until she knows I have seen her and she does this to tell me she is back for the summer. When her feeder needs more nectar, she flutters in place at the window for me to see her tell me this. She amazes me! I doubt I am the only human she has trained in this fashion! She is very territorial too! She will not let any other hummingbirds near 'her' feeder. I buy her a nice, new one every year with the features she seems to like the most, like perches. She actually likes to sit on a perch instead of flying in place to eat. I love her! I look forward to seeing her every spring.

“The look in its eyes” Its eyes: . .

I always have 2 hummingbirds that come see me daily. They will literally come nose to nose with me then fly away. I always said its my grandparents.

And that people is a real man, I salute your patience and perseverance

Gratitude; a virtue reserved for the kind-hearted.

That is how humanity is supposed to work. You can be big and tough, but compassion, is a must.

"Thank you, ugly flower."

A hummingbird’s metabolism is so fast that they go into semi-hibernation each night otherwise it would starve to death before morning.

For all the boatloads of caustic and unkind people, there is always one out there as kind as you. Sometimes we entertain Angels unaware.

You can tell the hummingbird is so grateful especially when it starts to let its beak be in the water feeder that's true trust

Hummingbirds are such feisty little critters. It's really, really sad to see one at the very end of its tether - a hummingbird this still is on the edge of death. He was completely, totally exhausted (and badly dehydrated to boot). Very young one too - he was a juvie male, probably not long post-fledging. You did a truly good thing here. One never knows what ripples may pass outward from what seems, on the surface, like a small act of decency. And the little birb recognized it! He wanted to be on your arm because he felt safe there, until his batteries were fully recharged and he was ready to move on. Good. For. You. There's a special kind of grace in helping a powerless animal like you did. I wouldn't at all be surprised if you see this little guy again. Put up a hummingbird feeder, and you may end up with a new family of them!

I saved a hummingbird that couldn't fly and was trapped in the limestone dust of a parking lot. I captured him with my bare hands and took him home and nursed him for four hours then when he could fly, I released him. As he flew away I told him to visit soon. The next year and for the following 12 years, we have had swarms of hummers to the point that one feeder wasn't enough. We put up the "race track", seven feeders that wrapped around our tiny house and love every one that visits. I was born able to relate to wild animals. My first saved wild creature was a white duck from a pond where my father was buried. I was four. I am almost sixty now and am unable to continue due to health issues but every day I think about the animals I saved, the ones I lost and the inspiration to others to do the selfless act of caring for what can't take care of itself. Blessings.

To show kindness to a small, helpless creature at his mercy, is the greatest act of power that a human can display.

Every time I begin to get cynical about Life, and People, I see something wonderful like this...and feel more positive!

He was showing gratitude. Letting you know he didnt need the box anymore, but stayed for a little while, not afraid of you. Well done!

They need a lot of sugar for flying. But i have been eating tons of sugar for decades, and i still cant fly.

Underrated is how amazing this guy parents. He's raised his children to respect, and adore nature and those more vulnerable Thank you sir for being a wonderful person

2:35 Hummingbird got flashbacks to its infancy remembering being fed by its mother... feeling safe and protected... Now, you are "mother".

I found a mantis in a spiderweb in my house once, there was no longer a spider in the web but the mantis was totally stuck so I grab it out the web and took it outside and set it on the fence post but it jumped back on my arm, I then learned mantids can show gratitude with a facial expression which was cute to see from one of nature's more perfect killing machines.

Nothing beats the feeling you get from successfully rescuing a little creature - doesn't matter if its a bird ,cat ,lizard doesn't matter as long as they make it! My sincerest thanks to all the people out there that do their little part and save a life in need, God bless all of you!

How lovely. He trusted you enough to stay a while. That's worth the world.

He was definitely thanking you at the end, before he flew away! The way he looked at you.

I saved a bird and it did the same thing, hung about for a while before flying off. Almost like someone who wants to say thanks but doesn’t know the language.

Hummies go into a light hibernation, called topor, when they sleep. If they are hurt or dehydrated, they often never wake up. He was saying thank you!

This was heart warming and beautiful to see. The world needs more people like this man.

I used to think as a kid that hummingbirds didn’t have feet and were constantly always flying, even when sleeping

When the hummingbird was on his arm, definitely that was an expression of gratitude.

I did the same thing this summer. Hummingbird had hit the window of Urban Outfitters on 35th street by Macy’s NYC. Hundreds of commuters walking by. I also walked past as it sat on the sidewalk. Then I turned back as it was certain to be stepped on being so tiny. Took the tiny little bird to my office and placed it in a coffee cup. Fed it sugar water through a straw. Closed the lid but left the lid open. Fed it more sugar water for a few hours. By lunchtime the bird was flapping away inside the coffee cup. At lunch time I took the bird I. Cup to Bryant park. Removed the lid. It looked around. Flapped it’s wings for a time. Then I tilted the cup and it flew into the trees. I felt great! 👍🏾👍

His batteries got juiced up again and off he went. That was lovely to watch. Thank you for your compassion and efforts.

"I will spread word of this deed to all birdkind. In your time of need you shall have our aid."

Job well done.

This honestly made me light up seeing the recovery. You did a pretty big thing for that little guy (or gal). The things that really hits me though, is how the hummingbird actually flew to you, how it let you pick it up, and how it even sat on your arm and knuckles like a perch. Birds don't do that kind of thing unless they REALLY trust you. Birds won't perch in areas they feel unsafe in or don't trust. But you really had this little dude's heart and trust. That's simply amazing. Good job Will. This seriously made me proud.

There is something touching when you accidentally but deservingly “adopt” a wild animal or it “adopts” you. Wild animals whether it be a bird or some four legged creature, they remember this sort of kindness. You probably got a friend for life there for saving its life

I did something like this with a bee. I went to my balcony one morning and saw a drowned bee in the water, which was ice, from my drink the previous night. I lifted him up on my finger and let him dry in the morning sun. I gently blew on his wings. Presently, I found some jam and let him eat some. It was awesome to feel his tiny tongue on my finger. After about an hour he flew away. It made me happy.

I love how jiggly he is, fat humming bird is so precious

I had a sickly little hummingbird who I nursed back to health last year I named Grandpa. He's now healthy and beautiful. He always comes back to pay me a visit.

In this way, I saved almost seven sparrows.. Four were babies, I feed them using a toothpick and yellow canary mash mixed with water.. I hold them on my house and in the end, they flew in and out of windovs, landing in my shoulfers or hands.... One of the most beautiful experiences of my life, and on the life of my son.. ( I'm sure they felt I was one of them, ( I was a private pilot )

THANK YOU, sir, for helping that hummingbird!

He was so cute, he just stared up at you like “Thank you for caring for me 🥺”

Nothing demonstrates love more than acts of kindness to even the smallest of ceatures. I salute this man for his kindness. What a wonderful world this would be if we all shared this person's qualities.

Same happened to me. Walked into the garage to see him making loops. He began to get tired and rested on the little ledges of the garage door. I had water in a container on the ready and he began to drink. You could see his tiny tongue dart through to the water. I let him fly away and I went to get a hummingbird feeder and some nectar and then he returned. With three friends :)

He looks like he gained a friend, and some weight. Stay healthy Mr.Hummer.

Life is so precious that a tiny bird fought for it. God show mercy on you man.

The world's wildlife needs more people like you.....a human with a heart & soul..

This is how we should treat all animals by protecting them and looking out for them to help them along the way. Thank you for caring.

Awwww, poor little dude. He's so wobbly. Thank you for taking care of him.

I saved a hummingbird a couple of months ago. He flew inside building and kept hitting sliding door until he fell . I picked him up and moved him outside and on porch. He flew 20 feet into a tree and watched me for awhile. My good deed of the day.

he's not dehydrated, he;s run out of glucose to power his tiny body, you finally got the syringe set up so he could feed properly, bless you for caring enough to help this tiny creature.

Thank you very much for saving this beautiful little female Anna's hummingbird .

This is what life is about! Being angels for each other. Thank you for sharing, made me smile a lot.

I feel like this is our real purpose on this planet

2:16 Hummingbird: daddy? Dude: *DO I LOOK LIKE-*

I feel that no matter the intelligence level of any animal, they always know when they're being helped and show some sort of gratitude for it.

I love that he didn't want to leave right away. He was tired, comfy and full. Hopefully he's happily drinking nectar as I type this.

Not used to seeing a hummingbird sitting still like that. Thank you for rescuing the most beautiful of birds.

You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him ❤

I think he didn’t fly away right away, he wanted to show he’s grateful and say farewell and then 💞

That was a wonderful act of kindness. I remember reading of a hummingbird that was too weak to fly late in the fall. A dog a man had rescued spotted the humming bird and stood looking at it. The owner came over and saw the bird laying on its side. He took it in the house and looked up what to do for it. He gave it sugary water and put some fruit juice in a small cup. The bird was able to drink but was too weak to release it so he kept it in an open shoe box for the night. Next day it snowed and he knew the hummer would never make it far enough south to find food. So he kept it in the house went and bought a bird cage to keep it in. It took several days before the bird was able to fly with any skill so he made the right choice keeping it in. He had to feed it and protect it all winter long. It became very friendly with him and with the dog. A couple times it snuck out as he was leaving the house, but when it felt that cold air it turned straight back toward the door LOL. When spring time came the man put out hummingbird feeders. When he began to see some at the feeders, he knew it was time to let it out. He opened the window and out it went, it made a U-turn and stopped at the feeder then flew back in the house. That happened for a couple days and then the bird finally went exploring. But it came back before sundown and wanted in the house. So he left the door open on the birdcage. It spent several nights in the cage but was ready to leave the house in the morning. After awhile it didn't come back to house so the man thought it found a secure place to roost at nigh. Every so often it would come to his feeder and buzz back and forth at the window until he let it in. It would sit on his shoulder or his head and fly back and forth. When fall arrived the bird disappeared. The man figured it went south like its bretheren. but next spring the little one came back. In time, there were a few others who would follow the bird in the house and they too became friendly to the man. Hummers only live 5-6 years so he could tell when the behavior changed that his first little bird had perished but by then he had several hummers that would come in the window and feed from his hand.

I know that a lot of time has passed since you saved this wonderful little bird, but I want to say thank you thanks to people like you - I still believe in humanity, thank you, really thank you for being such a wonderful person I literally cry

I just think it’s so awesome for a person to take the time to care for any wildlife that is in harms way. That is what humanitarianism’s ab

I rescued a hummingbird from my window screen, and did same as you but wore him for body heat, which he preferred to being in a box with heat lamp. And when it was time to release hummingbird, he flew onto me and hung out on my hand for a few minutes then flew off and came back and returned to my hands. So we had a conversation that he was free to fly on but come back and visit anytime, and you know what? I think he does along with family!

Just saw a tv documentary the other night on hummingbirds where they mentioned that because of their high metabolism they have to feed every 10-15 minutes to stay healthy and survive. What this man did to save the hummingbird is beyond a miraculous recovery.

I think he was going to fly but he wanted to say one last thank you my friend that’s why he stayed just a little bit longer on your arm And I’m going to say thank you as well 🙏🏽
