"Mutual Healing: Woman in Mexico City Finds Solace in Caring for Hummingbirds"

Catia Lattouf, a 73-year-old woman in Mexico City, has transformed her apartment into a clinic for sick, injured, or infant hummingbirds. Over the past decade, she has nursed hundreds of these tiny birds back to health, becoming a reference source for bird lovers across Mexico and Latin America. Lattouf's improvised clinic supports formal institutions that lack resources, and she has become an advocate for hummingbird conservation in the face of threats such as habitat loss and predation. Her work has brought her healing and purpose after surviving colon cancer, and she continues to care for these delicate creatures, believing that every life is worth saving.
