Broad tailed

Do you know what the worlds smallest birds are? Hummingbirds. There are many different types of hummingbirds, with the smallest being the bee hummingbirds. All hummers are beautiful and all are very fast. Over the past few days I have learned a lot more about hummingbirds.
As I was leaving for school on Monday my mother found a small, and injured hummingbird laying on our front porch. It was in no condition to fly, let alone take care of itself. We found ourselves being caregivers to this tiny little beauty. It was female and fairly young, and all we knew to do was to give her some sugar water. She could not feed herself, so we had to hold her up to the feeder. That night we made a makeshift cage so that she would feel better.
The next morning we were relieved to see that our new little friend made it through the night. She could even flutter around in her temporary home. By the end of the day she had tried to escape three times, but she could not land. Her feet seemed to be paralyzed or broken, so we could not let her go.
By this time we were constantly saying, "She...,and Her...", our bird needed a name. We did not know what kind of name to give her. Being that she is a Broad tailed Hummingbird, we wanted to give her a name that started with B. Brenda, Billi Jo, Brianna, Brynn...Brynn it was. Now she had a name and was getting a lot better.
Today, Brynn seemed as if she wanted to go home. I would too, if I had been with strange creatures for four days. She was even using her feet some. As I left for school today I knew that she would be let go soon. When I returned at the end of the day I went to look at Brynn, but the cage was empty, and Brynn was home free. I was sad to see that she had gone, but was glad that she had gone to her own home.
