If a hummingbird looks like it has been attacked by a cat, dog, or other animal, looks injured near a road, or shows any of the signs of injury and illness, contact a wildlife rehabilitator.
Signs that a hummingbird is orphaned: If a baby hummingbird looks healthy and is safe from danger, a fledgling (baby bird that is feathered and able to hop) should be able to survive without their mother. If the bird is away from the nest as a nestling, the mother is clearly dead, or the baby shows signs of injury or illness, contact a wildlife rehabilitator.
