42 days is a long time to cry. Next time call the spca. They can help with birds AND birds, ducks, anything that is free in your city or county belong to the city or county so its actually illegal to keep them and let them DIE.

No, hummmingbirds do eat insects, dicandonte. They prey on spiders and whatnot for feeding.

It was transferred to another rehabber, so I don't know.

Did the bird survive?

It's called Nektar-Plus, I don't have a bottle handy right now to check the ingredients.

I've witnessed an uninformed person nearly starve a captive hummingbird to death by not providing an insect feed replacement.From Wikipedia:"Hummingbirds feed in many small meals, consuming many small invertebrates and up to five times their own body weight in nectar each day."From the Audubon Society:"They also eat small insectsand spiders to supplement their sweet diet with protein."

god i wouldnt b able 2 do that cuz i wouldnt b able 2 give it up. i find birds all the time and dont give em 2 the rehabilitation. Although we only keep em 4 a maximm of 3 days cuz by then they can either fly or in ones case, it only had 1 wing cuz a goose bit off the other and he died. i cried 4 2 days straight basically.
