calling the hummerheads



Gary, Susan, and other hummer folks,

I have just started working in the Nature Museum at Freedom Park in
Charlotte where a couple of rehab hummers happen to reside. Unlike most of
the rehab birds in the care of the museum, the hummers are in pretty rough
shape to say the least. Neither of them has molted properly (hardly at all).
A very reputable avian rehabber has been consulting the museum on how to
care for the birds, but so far no really positive results have come about.
Getting them to eat has not been a problem. Molting seems to be the big
issue. I think the museum acquired them within the last year.
Got any suggestions?
