Over the years I have watched many hummingbirds at my feeders and gardens, but have never had more than two attempt to feed at the same time...and never successfully, for one always drives the other away. Always.
Well, things were looking pretty much the same here, when one day I saw TWO sitting down to eat together. Amazing!
I'd forgotten I had hung this feeder right off the side porch, so I refilled it the other day and this is what I watched that evening:
Yeh, I never figured out why I don't see this at my feeders; they're always very combative. I may see two in the area only briefly, but never more than one at a feeder.
