If it can fly normally, I would go ahead and release it, especially if ther=
e are hummingbird feeders around to give it an easy meal. If it's still wea=
k, you can try putting a hummingbird feeder (4:1 water:sugar for the nectar=
) in with it to see if it will drink from that. The nectar should help perk=
it up and hopefully give it enough energy to fly and forage on its own. I'=
d give it an hour or so with the feeder, then check to see how it's doing. =
If it can fly normally after that, it should be fine and can be released.=
