I've had so many hummingbirds in my feeder this year! Especially near
dusk. They are just so fun to watch and listen to. Their aerial
acrobatics are amazing! The thing that gets me is that when a male
gets territorial and doesn't want any of the others in his feeder and
he swoops in and you can hear them hit each other, probably their wings.

Yes, they are territorial. It is comical to hear their chirpy tirades
as they chase the other hummingbirds away from the feeder. I figure
hummingbirds are the chihuahuas of the bird family. lol

I like that comparison. :-)

Accurate!
