How To Get A Hummingbird Out Of Your Garage

If you have a hummingbird that has flown into your garage, it can be a scary experience. These tiny birds are very delicate, and you do not want to harm them. The best way to get a hummingbird out of your garage is to remain calm and follow these steps:

1. Open the garage door. This will give the hummingbird a chance to fly out on its own. If the door is open and the hummingbird is still inside, proceed to the next step.

2. Turn off the lights. Hummingbirds are attracted to light, so turning off the lights will make it easier to catch them. Turn on nearby lights which are outside the garage.

3. Gently approach the hummingbird. Do not make any sudden movements, as this could scare the bird and cause it to fly into something. Move slowly and calmly until you are able to get close to the bird.

4. Cover the hummingbird with a cloth. This will help to calm the bird down and make it easier to catch. Be careful not to squeeze the bird too tightly, as this could injure it.

5. Take the hummingbird outside. Once you have caught the hummingbird, take it outside and release it. Be sure to release the bird in a safe area away from predators.

If you are unable to catch the hummingbird on your own, you can call a wildlife rehabilitator. Wildlife rehabilitators are trained to handle hummingbirds safely and will be able to release the bird back into the wild.

Here are some additional tips for getting a hummingbird out of your garage:

Do not try to catch the hummingbird with your bare hands. This could injure the bird. Cover your hands with a cloth before attempting to catch the bird.
If the hummingbird is injured, do not try to treat it yourself. Take the bird to a wildlife rehabilitator.
If you have small children or pets, keep them away from the hummingbird. Small children and pets could accidentally injure the bird.

By following these steps, you can safely get a hummingbird out of your garage. Just remember to remain calm and move slowly and gently. Do not try to catch the bird with your bare hands - use a cloth instead.
