I glanced out the kitchen window today, and wondered how and why this hummer was attached to the underside of the feeder. Then her wings flapped, and I could see she was caught! My feeders have the disk type bowl with a continuous ring of perches under the bottle. There are just tiny holes for feeding, so no bee guards. Poor lil' thing had somehow fallen between the perch and the disk while her beak was in the feeder. There's no way she could have freed herself. I had to hold her body up with one hand while I freed her beak with the other. She was so still, and when I saw her little feet had curled up, I thought the trauma had killed her. When she finally struggled, I knew she would be alright. Yeah!
