I once had a hummingbird get inside my house where it was being chased by a dozen or so cats. I found it in the loft batting itself against the windows as expectant moggies waited below. When it was quite exhausted, I was able to scoop it up in my hand. It was a totally weightless vibrating piece of fluff.
I went onto the back deck, opened my hand and waited. It took a few seconds for the hummingbird to snap out of the trauma, and then it shot off like a bullet, sat in a tree and complained. [g]
