Hello everyone!
This is my first time posting on here, and I joined specifically to get some advice on a little predicament I created this morning... I was attempting to clean up the orange tree by my potting bench and snipped a branch that I later discovered had already been inhabited by our backyard hummingbird's young one. Anyway, I was immediately terror-stricken and quickly reattached the branch with fishing wire in the same shady region that it was plucked from.
I don't know much (or anything) about birds, but I was careful not to touch it at all. I left for a few hours and returned to find him/her turned around in its nest.. not sure if that means the mom came back or what, but I have a few photos just to positively identify it as a hummingbird. I was just researching nectar for hummingbird feeders -- would it be okay to whip some of that up and feed it with a dropper or should I just wait and see what happens? Thanks in advance
