Hummies will be hummies and they are very territorial staking out what each believes is his/her best nectar source.

During peak season I hang out a dozen large 32 oz feeders from the eaves of my back porch as well as hang or stake out dozen more of small 12ml feeders and 2 oz feeders in the flower beds, trellises and the trees.

You're never going to stop the bickering and aerial acrobatic displays. Just sit back and enjoy the show :o) If you're fast with a camera you can get some great photos!!!

...and some days you may just see them settling in for a truce and enjoying the feeder :o)
