My parents live in a house surrounded by trees, so we get a lot of birds. There’s also a greenhouse attached to the house, and sometimes birds would fly in the open door, and be trapped.

I was near the greenhouse with my father when we noticed a hummingbird was inside. The poor thing stunned itself badly by bumping against glass, so my father picked it up and took it outside. He told me to open my hand, and gently placed the hummingbird there, telling me to stay still until it got up and flew away (it was blinking and moving a little). It was such a beautiful, tiny little creature. Within a few seconds it was on it’s feet, just sort of exploring my hand. A minute later, it flew away.
