My wife is currently nursing a hummingbird back from a window crash, because she’s a crazy-ass angel
Ima start calling her Florence Hummingbird

Okay now she has rigged up some sort of hummingbird IV sugar drip apparatus and now I’m worried she may be taking this a bit too far
Not a photoshop: hummingbird M*A*S*H* tent
Oh sure, when a hummingbird stumbles into the window it's the Intensive Care Unit at Cedars Sinai, but when Ol' Dave does the same thing it's Rolling Pin City

Wife: I’m just... winging it

Wife:
Me: leave the comedy to me

Operation Hummingbird update
AM hummingbird update: wife took little dude outside for some touch & go takeoffs and he ran out of steam, so recuperation continues. I have named him Gibson
I can also report that Gibson's gastrointestinal tract is fully functional
geez, sorry for informing you of cute animal facts overlooked in Disney cartoons
just keepin' it real, so that my Twitter street cred isn't ruined by too much upbeat heartwarming hummingbird sweetness
Simple sugar solution from my bar. I agreed to sacrifice 1/20th of an Old Fashioned to save the life of this woodland creature, because I am a saint that way
Hummingbird update: wife is now transporting Gibson to Austin Wildlife Rescue, where we hope he will make a full recovery. Details at 11
Please give generously to the Dave Burge School For Hummingbirds Who Can't Fly Good and Would Like To Learn To Pollinate Good Too
Final hummingbird update: Austin Wildlife Rescue says Gibson looks fine, should experience a full recovery soon. Thumbs up, lil' fella
