From Rescue to Flight: The Inspiring Journey of Two Precious Hummingbirds We Had the Delight of Meeting at Our Planting Event
During our December Plant for Hummingbirds & Butterflies event at Castaways Park, we had the honor of meeting two precious rescued hummingbirds, brought by Cindi from ifoundahummingbird.com Wildlife Rehabilitation.
Wildlife Jewels® Plant for Hummingbirds & Butterflies Celebration at the Newport Beach Castaways Park
On Sunday, December 8th, Wildlife Jewels hosted a community planting event at Newport Beach's Castaways Park, uniting nature enthusiasts to support local hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and other vital pollinators. Our goal was to raise awareness about precious pollinators through the arts, enhance the city's natural beauty with vibrant blooms, and promote wildlife conservation. Thanks to the dedication and generosity of our supporters, we successfully planted approximately 135 pollinator-friendly plants!
Throughout the event, we planted native flowers that attract and sustain hummingbirds, shared educational information about the importance of native plants, and highlighted incredible facts about hummingbirds and the innovations inspired by them. Attendees learned about the threats these tiny birds face and ways they can help protect them. We also showcased artwork inspired by a special hummingbird and monarch butterfly we helped rescue, sharing their stories and recounting the tale of a hummingbird we had the privilege of caring for.
A highlight of the event was the visit from two precious rescued Hummingbirds, brought by Cindi, Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center of Orange County Wildlife rehabilitation. Everyone had the chance to learn about the hummingbird’s journey and recovery story, making the day even more memorable. It is such a delight to hear that both precious hummingbirds have been rehabilitated and successfully released back into the wild since our event!

Discover the story of these two precious hummingbirds provided by Cindi!
The Juvenile Anna's hummingbird was from Laguna Niguel on December 3. He was trapped in a house for many hours. He collapsed from exhaustion & the home owner scooped him up & brought him to me. He was completely depleted of all energy & had suffered a concussion as a result of hitting his head on the ceiling. He was om pain/ anti-inflammatory medication for 3 days. He was given a special diet to help him recover from exhaustion. He recovered well and was released back into the wild where he was found on December 17.
The adult male Allen's hummingbird was from Irvine & had hit a window. He suffered a head injury & a slight spinal injury as a result of hitting the window. He was near the Google building near John Wayne Airport. There are a lot of glass high risers around that area. This little hummingbird recovered nicely and was released back into the wild on December 17.
