Paul was rescuing this little guy the other day: it had flown into one of the bedrooms without us noticing. When a hummingbird is trapped, it becomes stressed and frantic in the unfamiliar territory and and often exhausts itself when trying to find a way out or it may knock itself out flying against glass panes repeatedly.
Hummingbirds do sometimes fly into the villa. Anywhere there is bright red or orange color — whether it is natural or artificial — is likely to attract their attention. Most of the time they realize they are somewhere odd and turn round and fly out of the house (sometimes backwards)
