Hoku is better. He looks much better.
The owner has posted the video of his rescue and it shows putting Hoku back in the nest.
.
At 5:50 minutes Phoebe returns, and Hoku is weak and stunned but does take one short feeding.
Then Phoebe sits protectively over the chick.
I've seen stunned hummers, and sometimes they die of fright.
The one that we rescued, took a whole day to get her strength back to perch. I hand fed her sugar water then put her in a small aquarium we keep for critters, and she recovered and flew away 2 days later. I put the feeder cup (the bottom of a small feeder on the floor of the aquarium and she did manage to feed herself).
This is a pic hubby took of her.
