I need some advice. I have a young hummingbird that is sick/weak. He is all 
fluffed up like sick birds get and he has chosen one of my feeders to stay on 
and eats constantly. 
There is a very aggressive adult that is getting on the sick birds back and 
poking at him. The sick one will fly and the aggressive one will knock him to 
the ground or a plant stem. 
Should I intervene? I feel as if I should help the sick one but what do I do 
with him once I have him? I think either way this little guy is in trouble.
Advice?
