jlmiracle 7 #1 May 27, 2003 We have several (15-20ish) hummingbirds around and this one female keeps getting "stuck" under the porch. She won't fly down to get out. She just keeps banging her head on the ceiling and flys backwards. We take a fly swatter to gently push her down so she flys out. One time she just dropped and we thought she died and sure enough just as she was about to be put out of her misery she flys away. Any suggestions on what might be wrong with this bird?
