This is the busy season for these beautiful little birds as they are feeding up sugar to travel 4,000 miles or more going south away for the winter . .so they are franticly feeding and fighting around the feeder these days . . .
Yesterday afternoon I came into the house and there was a little baby one flying by the ceiling . . .
I was shocked that it got into the house -BUT- how to get it out?
While my husband held the door open . . .I waved a broom around up near it . . . .nothing happened -it just kept flying in the same spot . . .not at all afraid . . . .
I edged the broom(Soft bristles) up closer slowly . . .getting nearer . . .still it wasn't afraid . . .
so I touched it . . .and it sort of did a startled humming bird jump . . .and landed right ON the BROOM!!relieved to stop fluttering its wings!
I quickly went out the door with it and in a few seconds it flew off happily!
So just in case this happens to you-show it the broom . . . . .
