Baby Rufous Hummingbird

We found this little female hummingbird on the sidewalk in our neighbourhood in Vancouver, Canada. After nursing it with some sugar water, we brought it to an animal care centre where it is being cared for.

I wish I could shrink down to give it a big hug.

Why is no-one talking about that little wiggle wiggle

Look at this precious little one, chirping to let you know she’s hungry! ❤

Evolution: How cute do you want to be?

Hummingbird: Yes

If 'tiny' had a sound, this would be that sound.

The hummingbird is now my favourite of all birbs.
Small blobs who constantly need fuel to fly.

Everyone’s talking about the “peep”, but is no one gonna talk about the way its tongue stuck out?

[ruqaiyah]

This made me forget about the world. Precious.

It's beeps
Are precious.
Protect the beep.

That little chirp is too adorable, awww :)

His coloring is spectacular. The iridescent colors of his feathers against the pink towel is really something to behold.

At my house, a couple hummingbirds built their nest in our lemon tree. We were so happy when we saw four eggs in the nest a few days later. The hummingbirds were very chill with us and even let us hold the babies when they were old enough! The mother bird would land on my mom's finger sometimes. Having a family of hummingbirds in our own backyard was definitely one of the best experiences in my life.

I like how it’s vibrating like it’s having a sugar rush lol

Her little tongue ~blep~ at 0:18 took me by surprise! So adorable!

this has healed all my troubles, my pores are clear, my finals will be passed. thank you for gracing me tiny creature, you are so loved

It makes me sad knowing this video is 7 years old and that this little one is no longer with us, hope they're still beeping on in the afterlife 😢
