Does it need help?

Probably! If you have found a hummingbird on the ground, in your cat's mouth, or not moving on your hummingbird feeder, then that animal likely needs your help. There is no good reason for a hummingbird to be in these situations, so please reach out. Their life depends on you!
Call the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center's hummingbird specialists for case-specific guidance.
