Hummingbird returns every year to visit man who nursed it back to health

For the last four years, a former SWAT officer in Georgia has been visited by a little friend that he nursed back to health – a hummingbird named Buzz.

That was 8 weeks. And he became a part of the  Cardenaz, who affectionately named the bird Buzz, said he nursed the bird with some Pedialyte and sugar while providing a safe place for it to recuperate. “He would fly around the yard and come back when he got exhausted because that was his comfort zone until he finally took off for the winter,” the man said. For the most part, hummingbirds head south to Central America and Mexico for the winter months, before making their way back north to their breeding grounds, with some making the trek as early as February
