Unfortunately, hummingbirds are also very fragile. They're easily injured by collisions with windows, cars, and other objects. And because they're so small, they can quickly become hypothermic or dehydrated if they're not cared for properly.

In Hollywood, California, there's a dedicated group of volunteers who are working to rescue and rehabilitate hummingbirds that have been injured or orphaned. These volunteers are part of the Hummingbird Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, and they've been saving the lives of hummingbirds for over 20 years.
