Neat video, but I ain’t all that optimistic about the odds for that particular hbird.

I've had two different hummingbirds fly into my garage in the past year. They don't seem very smart about getting out.
The first time I opened the overhead door and the bird would just fly around the ceiling above the door and not go out. So I shut the overhead door and opened the side door, thinking the bird would fly toward the light, but no, it just kept flying around the ceiling above the door wearing itself out. I finally tried hanging the hummingbird feeder in the doorway and that did it; the bird flew to the feeder and freedom. The wife found the second bird in the garage doing the same as the first one, it wouldn't fly out the door. Hung the feeder and out it went.
Might have been the same bird, they all look alike to me.

I think that racist...............or something like that. wink

Not only hummers, but we have others that like my shop/garage in the summer especially. Pains to get out sometimes.

I'm just ornithologically challenged.

Steve,

Hummingbirds are a whole lot easier than LBBs (little brown birds) which are infamous in some birding circles.

Might be that bird your wife had to rescue was the same one, figured out where to get a nice meal by itself.

I never found LBB’s to be all that hard, but I can get motion sickness from staring at shorebirds so long while trying to ID.
