Battling Hummingbirds
We live in the forest so when my wife bought a hummingbird feeder I didn't think she had much of a chance of actually seeing any hummingbirds. Lo and behold, I was once again wrong and we got so many hummingbirds that we now have 4 feeders.
Our challenge now is that all they do is battle for control of the feeders. As soon as one hummingbird lands one or two others will swoop in to push em off. Its constant. I think there are at least half a dozen flying around out there and all they do is make sure no one else gets to the feeders.
Sometimes in late dusk we will see one successfully land and feed.
Anyone got any insights into hummingbird behavior?
