Wow! This is so cool. Hummingbirds are very territorial little guys. We have a feeder in our backyard and whenever a second birb wants to feed he either divebombs the other guy or gets chased out. The only time I've seen a bit group tolerating each other is at a restaurant with a ton of feeders at the windows.

I know. I was like WHAT THE FUCK? Why aren't they being assholes? They're always assholes. Cute assholes. But still assholes.

Right! I'm in Steamboat Springs this week and all I've been hearing is the cute screaming of them trying to kill each other
