It's not like I'm lacking for hummers! Another has already laid claim to that feeder. I can see at least 6 at any time of the day in my tiny yard...all just waiting their for chance.
Kurt, They will never learn to get along. Sometimes they allow the youngsters to feed, and the females are much more tolerant of each other, but how the males ever get laid is beyond me, as they run off everybody. The only time you see them sharing is during migration when there are too many for them to chase. Then it's like musical chairs on my 6 port feeder...especially at dusk. All ports will be occupied and a couple hovering.
