Two days ago, I was able to save a humming bird from my grandpa's cat. Luckily the poor guy was not fatally injured, but the cat managed to rip off half of his right wing. I got the wound to stop bleeding, and i read on the internet from a couple of sources that you should feed them sugar water. 1/4 parts of sugar per 1 part water. This will be his second night with me, and he's doing extremely well. I give him sugar water through a straw, a little at a time to prevent drowning.
I doubt that he'll ever fly again, as he has lost more than half of his right wing. But I'm determined to keep him alive until i'm able to find a rehabilitation centre that will be able to give him the care he needs.
I'm temporarily keeping him in a ventilated shoe box, with an old shirt to keep him warm during night.
Does anyone have experience I caring for an injured hummingbird? I would like those to share their experiences with me, as I have grown quite fond of the little guy.
