There are defintely lots of hummingbirds around here, I lose count but have guessed forty at a time. Hubby says there are at least a hundred of them.
I find that the more hummingbirds swarming the feeders the less fighting. There is still some chasing going on but for the most part it looks like they are taking turns at the feeders. When one comes in from behind, the other one leaves and so on, kinda like they are in line.
I've also noticed that since I hung all the feeders in one location, 'The hummingbird Post' as we call it, they seem to get along better. I was wondering if they were two groups. For some reason they quit using the one set of feeders and that's when I hung them altogether. I thought maybe some of them had moved on but then they returned. I think maybe they were feeding from the Angel trumpets and Crossvines in the wild, while they were in bloom.
