It's a easy short read on baby hummingbirds, which makes this book very likable. I finished it in an hour and then proceeded to check my hummingbird feeders to make sure they were full. There were facts about the hummingbird or "hummers" that I did not know. Nice read!

The Hummingbirds' Gift is an excerpt from Montgomery's [b:Birdology: Adventures with a Pack of Hens, a Peck of Pigeons, Cantankerous Crows, Fierce Falcons, Hip Hop Parrots, Baby Hummingbirds, and One Murderously Big Living Dinosaur|7059341|Birdology Adventures with a Pack of Hens, a Peck of Pigeons, Cantankerous Crows, Fierce Falcons, Hip Hop Parrots, Baby Hummingbirds, and One Murderously Big Living Dinosaur|Sy Montgomery|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1269473463l/7059341._SY75_.jpg|7311151]. This thin book is an reissue of that, and it looks like a few more will be coming to this series. I may just take out the original book to read. This is a heartwarming story of two orphaned hummingbirds and their will to survive is matched by the volunteers who take care of them.

I picked this book up as I have always been fascinated by hummingbirds, and I had no idea how much it would teach me about them! I’m almost sad I finished it so quickly as I grew quite fond of those two tiny birds which the author rescued and fostered
