We wanted to participate in
Fin's Tweet Week, so here is our contribution. Our lady servant was going to post this on her super boring blog about herself (and not us cats!), but we're glad she didn't have the time (was too lazy) to post it, cause it's perfect for this week!
A few weeks ago the man called the lady down to the garage for some help. When she walked in, this is what she saw. This is the second hummingbird to fly in the garage and not be able to fly back out of the two huge garage door openings.
The silly bird kept flying around, banging it's head on the ceiling.
The last hummer to do this tired out pretty quick, but not this guy! He must have really been hopped up on some serious nectar because he wasn't wearing out anytime soon.
For a good thirty minutes the lady stood in the middle of the garage holding up a hummingbird feeder because that's what had worked the last time.
After a while, the man took over and held up the feeder, but the bird was having none of it. So the man climbs on the back of a truck he had on the car lift, he reached up and grabbed the little bird.
After a few slurps, the hummingbird flew off to a nearby mimosa tree to refuel!

What a sweet, sweet post. It's got the PM all teary eyed. Such a display of kindness. The PM's Dad once tied a flower on a stick and fed a huge bumblebee that was bobbing around in the high rafters of the cottage.
The world would be a much better place with more people like your beans in it.

Oh wow! Yay! for the man helping that little hummer! How did the man ever catch that little guy?? We have hummers and they move so fast we couldn't imagine catching one!
Bet that Hummer was grateful for the help getting him out. Birds can be silly sometimes though, they fly in our kitchen door then try to get out the closed windows.
What a lucky birdie. Mummy would have tried to save him too, but I think if we're honest we would have tried to nom him!
Awwwww... That is so Tweet!
Good save, we lurv the humming birds around here.....or at least to watch through the windows and chatter at!
HEY! I just saw ME on your "You Might Also Like...." WOW--thanks!
Here, I've not seen one little hummer. Wonder if we put out some juice they might come here? Those pictures are cool--'specially the man holding the teeny tiny tweet!

That little bird is so tiny and cute! We're glad he got out and that your humans helped him
Oh, that's so cool that your dad was able to catch the hummer and hold him long enough to get him to feed! We bet that was cool. Well done, mom and dad beans!
Purrs and hugs,

That is a seriously tiny birdie. It was very kind of your hoomin to help him out.
Holy Smokes!!! Your dad actually CAUGHT IT!!! That's pawesome! We have hummingbird feeders too and mom's been trying to get their picture ALL summer, to no avail. We do have one that mom named Helga. She's such a witch. she sits on the clothes line right by the feeder and chases away all the others hummingbirds! She's NOT even drinking it!!! Just hogging it! She's so fresh!!!
Aw - thanks so much for helping the hummingbird! We think you are wonderful.
Good thing Daddy was there.

That hummer must have been getting tired for your Dad to be able to catch him. They are so fast. We have not put feeders out here, but our Grand mother has them.
That is a great little tweet.
aw you guys took good cares of him to rehydrate him before he left!
he probably went back to his buddies and was like , 'dude, oh the day i've had' .
That's wonderful the guy was able to help the little bird! Great story and photos!
awwww! its so cute! i would have wanted to keep it! glad you finally got it out!
What a story! The hummer must have been exhausted to let the man grab him. It's so cool he got some slurp in from the feeder!
Wow, that is so cool. I had one of those at my window once but didn't get a good look. Thanks for sharing this, twas very cool.
What a sweet tweet! The poor little thing. I'm glad you got him out safe and sound. Thanks for sharing. ~Lisa Co9T
Those tweets sure aren't too bright, are they? I'm amazed that you were actually able to touch it. It's so cute!
Oh my goodness! That little guy must have really been worn out if the man was able to catch him.
It is so cool that your beans took care of this little guy! Give them some extra headbutts for us!
Oh Bast! Dats a real live fevver he gots to hold!! Holy Carp, did yoo gets to smell hims after dat?

Humans...sometimes you need to guide them.
awww poor little guy! We are glad your beans helped him!!!!
God will bless you for taking care of His small creatures! Great story and pictures. I put the feeders out and all I get is bees and ants!
What a cute little bird snack! Ha ha, just kidding. We give you two paws up for helping him out.
What a great dad you have, kind to everyone including the birdies! We think he is amazing for being able to help that sweet little hummingbirdie!
I wonder why they love the garage so much? Silly birdies...
Thanks for playing! I wonder if it was the same Hummingbird. Seems a little bird-brained.
The Man is a hero!
Yay! Thanks for saving that little guy!
I'm glad they were able to safely get the hummingbird out of the garage, and back outside :-)
Wow that is good that your dad was able to catch it. I am always surprised that birds can get in and then not figure out how to get out.
We are glad that the humans helped the hummer got out of the garage! Interesting story.
Oh, poor thing. I adore hummingbirds. Thank you for making sure he (she?) was safe.
Lovely post! So glad she made it!
AWWW... HEARTWARMING RESCUE!
