Catia Lattouf turned her apartment in Mexico City’s Polanco neighborhood into a clinic for sick, injured or infant hummingbirds, about 60 of which currently flit around. | AP
Lattouf, who studied French literature, has become a reference source for bird lovers, amateur and professional alike, across Mexico and other parts of Latin America.
With dozens of the tiny birds buzzing overhead, along walls and the window of her bedroom, Lattouf explained that she began caring for them a year after surviving colon cancer in 2011. It started with one hummingbird that had an eye injured by another bird. Lattouf says she never turns away a bird. Together with her collaborator Cecilia Santos, who she calls the “hummingbird nanny,” they care for the birds in long days that stretch from 5 a.m. into the night.
