Hi, folks. I think I have a weird situation: A hummingbird in my kitchen area!!! The obvious question: How can I keep this little guy alive? I live in a wooded area in Saint Johns, FL. We have known hummingbird families in the neighborhood, but I'm fairly certain that there's one in my kitchen.
I know about the general behavior of hummingbirds, and in fact we have (poorly attended) hummingbird feeders on our porch. In the past, we have stocked them with sugar water.
But I also know that they need to feed about every two hours, and I have no idea how this bird has survived even 24 hours.
We do have some foliage in the kitchen -- Norfolk Island Pine and various flowering plants (but no flowers at the moment).
I need help, fast!! Any suggestions will be most welcome.
Oh, I almost forgot: We have two parrots, an African Grey and a Cockatoo. Perhaps the hummer is using their water?
