Went on a morning walk to calm the work nerves and came across a hummingbird that was either downed due to cold or ran into one of the building windows.

Brought him on a walk to see if the gardeners would be helpful in recovering it. I've seen some girls working in the gardens that seemed the right type for the job.
I tried to actually let him go in a quiet little spot, but the damn thing just wanted to be in my hands where it was warm I guess.

I literally walked a 1/4 mile and it just sat there and every once in a while flapped its wings.

The gardeners were there, but kept ignoring me when I said "Excuse me" about 6 times. Finally I said, "I guess I'll just let this hummingbird be food for something" and all 3 ran over in a blink of an eye to take it. Funny, because I use the same tactics on the beach trying to ignore people, but they seemed much better at the cold shoulder method. lol
Hummingbirds are really cool! 8)
Good on you for keeping it warm Tom, hopefully it's able to recover!
Ya did your good deed for the week Tom, hopefully the little booger will be okay
