Injured hummingbirds cared for at "hospital" in small Mexico City apartment | Video

Mexico City, Jul 2 (EFE).- For more than a decade, Catia Lattouf de Arida has devoted her life to rescuing and caring for injured and orphaned hummingbirds in her small Mexico City apartment, which she has set up as a "hospital," later releasing them as a way of expressing her respect and love for the lives of these tiny birds.

"For me, since I was small I've had great respect for animal life, because I was a 'girl scout' (and) ... I was seven years old, and they are taught that loving plants and animals means loving everything that's alive. Not because plants are alive, animals are alive, but rather it's something that was inculcated in me," said Lattouf in an interview with EFE. (Camera: ULISES ANDRADE).
