"Hummer Wars 2020"...

I have learned that our humming birds are not unique in their "fighting", but it does not make it any less comical to watch. We have one male, we call Napoleon, that sits atop the feeder "watching" for anyone else coming in for nourishment and attacks them in flight!

When I first started putting out feeders I didn't realize how territorial hummingbirds are.

Nice shot Gary... You got it right... quite a few years ago I put a couple of GoPro cameras on the poles holding the hummingbird feeders... it took a lot of editing to put together a short videos and I titled it Food Fight.

I would love to have these birds visit!

How wonderful to have multiple birds at your feeder.

Cool capture! You can't even see their wings, so fast.

This is one of our favourite breakfast pass times watching them dive bomb each other.

I think they bring a lot of enjoyment to a lot of people with their antics! You had to be really quick to get a drink today before the other attacked.

@k9photo It has been interesting to see. We have put up two feeders before and that helped.

@kvphoto That would be hilarious!

@happypat Not sure if they come where you live, but we just put up a feeder and waited...
