Hummingbird Gets A Helping Hand

(WGBA/NBC News) A Wisconsin couple are working to get a young hummingbird humming again.

Nicole White found the bird on her driveway just over a week ago

"I was letting the dogs out before work and i stumbled across this little tiny thing on the driveway and just left it," Nicole said. "After work I came home and it was still there."

It's been around every day since.

Nicole and her husband Steffen have been feeding it everyday since.

They're now seeing it grow, and waiting for it to begin flying.

"Certainly stronger, he's hopping around the yard, so definitely doing better," Nicole said.

"To see the interaction, it makes you smile, makes you forget about problems, and it's very gratifying," Steffen said. "You're proud of the effort you made because you didn't give up on something."
