It is amazing how often these little guys find their way into the house. Mostly they fly straight through the open front door and out onto the balcony through another open door, but sometimes they are not so lucky and they bash into a closed window or glass paneled door. Glass is inevitably confounding and confusing to birds and other creatures.

And so it happened that this tiny dear creature just flew into my kitchen window and landed upside down in a small bowl on the windowsill. He was a little dazed but as always no damage was done. I smiled as I felt his tiny feet clinging tightly to my finger as I walked him outside into freedom and the forest once again. He couldn’t have weighed more than a couple of grams!
He rested there for a few minutes while I spoke reassuringly to him and took a few photos of course. He soon enough flew off unhurt back to the treetops. The beauty of nature is overwhelming at times and these are precious moments of my life I will treasure forever.

Thank you for stopping by. Blessings from the jungle πŸŒ΄πŸŒˆπŸ¦‹πŸ’›

And right back at you!! It reminds me when my wife and I went to Costa Rica such an incredible place

What a cute little fella'. You are so lucky to see so many so often. I love his shiny green coat of feathers!

Great photos too. :D

Thanks very much @magiccleatues. I am indeed lucky to see so many of these delightful creatures.

How lovely. They are so tiny! Glad you were there to help the little fella.

How precious! They're so small it seems almost impossible :)

Nices pictures

Wow ... what a stunning bird - the colours of the plumage are just magnificent - thank you for sharing :D

Thanks very much for your nice comment

Gorgeous bird! Although, is there a way to maybe put something on the window to confuse them less? But that'd be hard to do I guess

There is so much glass in this place and I have to keep the doors open for the heat not to build up in the house so it’s difficult. The good thing is they are alwaysboknand fly off. Never had one seriously hurt this way. It’s a relief. Otherwise I would be hanging miles of net curtains over it all to protect them - I wouldn’t think twice if one ever got properly hurt but as it is feathers seen to be wonderful defense against injury.

Gotcha that makes sense, seems like they're quite resilient

And yeah I guess the heat would be a problem, can't help the birds if we're the ones getting knocked out!

Poor bird, but lucky you. Great images, and great experience.
Glad the little one turned out fine eventually.

Thanks for your nice comment. πŸŒˆπŸ¦‹πŸŒ΄πŸ’›

You are surrounded by some beautiful creatures. The colours in this bird are gorgeous 😍

Wow, and he even posed for the pictures! Love hummingbirds, too bad we don't have them where I live. Still trying to identify the ones I saw there :)

Last 2 pictures are priceless. Award winning in my book.

And that bird allow you to take a shot? Seem an old pal will do that

Glad he is ok. Very considerate of you to speak kindly. So helpful :)

What a fearless bird.
You were lucky to land on your arm.
