Answer 2

That is pretty much what hummingbirds need. You can try hummingbird food from your local pet store. You should also try calling a bird rescue group, an avian vet, or animal control to seek help for its wing. Keep in mind, a lot of places will have to put down the animal by law. If your feeding it with a syringe, you need to be trained, because you can easily drown a bird by not doing it properly. Hopefully it can eat without your help.

Answer 3

If you are going to keep it, then i suggest the h2o with sugar or hummingbird necture you can buy and prepare from a pet store but if i was you i would take it to a shelter or better yet a place that takes wild animals in to reabilitate them. But hey thats just me and hope my other advice helps because Hummingbirds only drink necture because most spiecies don`t have the beack for it and also They have to be fed every 10 to 20 miniuts even if they aren`t able to fly, and i am not kidding you the won`t last long if not fed very often.

Answer 4

call a vets office they will put you in touch with the local bird group. I can't think of the name but they watch feed count and keep up on birds in the wild

Answer 5

Get it to a professional immediately. It needs medical help, and if it doesn't get it the bird will never fly again. If you don't have a wildlife rehabilitation center in your area, call your local vets.

Answer 6

Look in your phone book for a bird lady or person who lives by you. Trust me, I've saved a lot of birds.

Answer 7

Try mushing up saltines in a little bit of water to make a paste-like food, then try dropping it down her throat or putting it on a stick and seeing if she'll eat it.

Answer 8

you should bring it to a vet so that it can get its wing fixed, then continue feeding it and when its wing is healed you can set him free.

Answer 9

you can go to your local petstore and they sell hummingbird food
