This tiny bird was found in Eureka, MO, and weighs just 5.2 grams — lighter than a nickel! 🐣 Now we want you to weigh in... What species do you think this little one might be? Drop your guesses in the comments! 🧠👇 Our babies are growing up fast — and being released every week! A big part of our care process involves regularly weighing each bird to monitor growth and ensure healthy weight gain. These weight checks help us determine when to reduce hand-feeding schedules, as birds grow stronger and more independent. They also guide us in deciding when a bird is ready for release back into the wild. 🌿✨ We're deeply grateful to our amazing community for making this work possible. Since we receive no local, state, or federal funding, your donations are what keep our hospital running and allow us to provide individualized care to every bird. 💚 With over 170 birds still in our care, your support continues to be vital so if you'd like to help, please consider making a donation here: https://www.mygiving.net/donate/Donation-WBR Every gift, no matter the size, truly makes a difference. Thank you! 🐦 (fb)

This sweet little baby hummingbird was saved by the employees of Ryan Lawn & Tree. While working in a yard in Chesterfield, they see this sweet little one on the ground. Not only did they call Wild Bird Rehab, they also kept it safe and fed water with electrolytes. Seeing no sign of mom in the area a volunteer came and picked up the little Hummer who is now safe thanks to these men. I can't thank these gentlemen enough for going above and beyond to help this little hummingbird. This says a lot about the employees this company hires. (fb)
