I'm guessing you have a covered porch? If I had a porch like that I'd
definitely hang multiple feeders. My hummingbird feeder hangs from a
long chain suspended from a hook under the eaves by the den. Sure, I
could put up more hooks, chains and feeders. But it's sort of a PITA
PITA to get to the one I have. It requires maneuvering around azaela
bushes (in very soft, sandy, often wet soil) to empty and refill it
every week. It would be nice to just step out on a covered porch...
