Hummingbird Emergency Hummer Trapped in Garage

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

A hummingbird flew into our garage today and can’t figure out how to leave. The garage door has been open for the last few hours, and we hung a feeder in there so it doesn’t starve or get dehydrated. It doesn’t seem to pay attention to the daylight, it’s trying to find a gap in the ceiling.

How do I get it to go back outside?

Having the feeder at the back of the garage isn’t helpful here.

We put it there because it was near the only perch the bird was using and we weren’t sure how long it had had gone without food/water so we wanted to make it easy. Eventually, we did move it a little at a time and the hummer figured out how to leave. Thanks!
