This little hummingbird flew into a window and broke the humerus bone of her wing.  The vet gave her anesthesia and wrapped her wing with paper tape as a splint.  The splint stayed on for a week and was removed.  Three days later she flew clumsily out her recovery cage.  A week later she was flying around the rehab room.  After spending another three weeks in a large flight cage re-learning how to hover to nectar from flowers and catching fruit flies on the fly, she was raring to go and released into the wild.
