Just like the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, this opportunity will be gone in a flash

Adopt a Ruby-throated Hummingbird now and receive a plush bird as our token of thanks.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird. KAREN, Happy National Hummingbird Day! Today, we're celebrating the Ruby-throated Hummingbird—a tiny bird with some truly remarkable talents. Weighing less than a nickel, it can cross the Gulf of Mexico in a single nonstop flight during migration. It beats its wings more than 50 times per second, helping this tiny traveler dart from flower to flower. This National Hummingbird Day, adopt a Ruby-throated Hummingbird with an annual gift to give birds the unwavering protection they need and deserve. When you do, we’ll send you your very own Ruby-throated Hummingbird plush as our token of thanks. (Just like these miniature marvels, this opportunity will be gone in a flash—so please, don’t wait!) With more than 120 years of expertise on our side, we know what it takes to protect beloved species like the Ruby-throated Hummingbird. Using our proven combination of committed advocacy, empowering education, and expert on-the-ground conservation—all guided by research and grounded in our shared love for birds—we’ve been able to help birds not only survive, but thrive. It comes down to this: Where we work—and when you help—birds are better off. But with so much at stake, we can and must do more while there’s still time. Please adopt a Ruby-throated Hummingbird with an annual gift before midnight. Your gift will automatically renew each year to provide the steadfast protection birds need.
