Thank you for your post (and gleanings from nature). We too name our hummers and have discovered how territorial they can be. (a lesson there as well?)

Yes indeed! They fight like the dickens over the feeders, don’t they?!? πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Such a great article, and such a great reminder. My wife enjoys feeding the humming birds at our house and the whole family benefits. Have you noticed their tendency towards curiosity? It might be something to look for next year.

Yep I surely have! I love it when they fly and hover close by, sometimes to β€œchew me out” if their feeder is empty!

Haha! Yep ours do that too.
