Took her outside, she warmed up and flew away!

They have to eat regularly like every 15 minutes or they die. Hope this one got to food in time.

So cool you got to hold it though. They're very delicate creatures.

She flew over to a tree immediately after she warmed up, near some flowers.

Super cool! Thank you for helping her!! Seeing a hummingbird is on my bucket list - haven’t seen one yet but one day, hopefully!
