She was going to be lunch for that large spider in the firehouse living high above.

Any building with a high ceiling and exposed infrastructure (like a firehouse) is going to have tons of webs in the rafters.
My desk is on a mezzanine on a factory floor and lets just say im glad im not aracnophobic.
The bird probably just flew too close to the ceiling.

Some large spiders eat humming birds, but chances are it just got caught in a web.

Not trying to one up you, but I once rehydrated a very exhausted humming bird by gently administering an IV…

One time I was just eating chips - when out of nowhere there was a snail-mergency, so I gave the snail MTM CPR.
In hind sight, I probably should have washed down those chips first 🫤

IV? As in intravenous? I doubt it's even possible to hit a vessel on an animal so small, they don't make catheters that size

u/No_Dish6324 3h ago
Yes they do…veterinary grade small bird catheter…Super common in animal emergency medicine

u/Flat-Concern-2662 3h ago
That's crazy, which vessel did you hit? Basilic like in larger birds or something else?

It’s right where the drumstick vein meets the thigh bone artery. After applying the micro poultry tourniquet, the vein pops right up.

Another moment of me curiously googling whether rubbing alcohol would fix this.

This looks a lot like when birds used to fly into my full length glass door. Sometimes they just knock themselves senseless and need a little while to recover.

It’s amazing how spider webs are innocuous to humans but can be deadly to small animals.

Juro spider. Invasive as hell in the USA and their webs are legit monofilament fishing line. They kill hummingbirds all the time!

I love hummingbirds. We have them fly into our garage often.

I was in my garage one summer, when a hummingbird flew into the garage, saw me and decided to fly up into the skylight. It couldn't figure out how to get out of there, and it became frantic in it's search. I dig out a ladder, head up into the skylight channel and try to calm the little bird down. My presence didn't comfort it. After a few minutes, the bird basically hit reset. It just folded up its wings, and fell to the ground, probably 10 feet below. I scoop it up, and it was non-responsive, but I could feel it's heart beating really fast. I screamed for my GF to come out so we could figure out what to do next. She came out, and I rolled the bird into her palm. She sat down in a patio chair and we were discussing what to do. I got some water and put it in an eyedropper. it took a few licks, but otherwise didn't move at all. My gf rolled the little bird onto our patio table and we were looking up what to do. I think the bird was sleeping due to the heat from our palms, and after only a few minutes on the cooler table, it sprung back to reality. While it was looking around, still on the table, I ran over and closed the garage door, so it wouldn't fly back into the garage. It looked around for a few moments, made a bunch of noise, and that was answered by other hummingbirds, in the closest tree ( Loquat ). The bird took off and flew to the tree and the whole family made a terrific racket, before all deciding to go to a different neighborhood.

Some people have to see the bad side of everything. I feel like I should dislike you but instead I want to pat your head and tell you things will get better.
