No, but the male hummers can be quite territorial. They may bedevil the other birds!

I have a hummingbird feeder hanging from my kitchen window, and a chianti sunflower that I planted just below it finally became big enough to be near the feeder. I have a group of 50-60 Lesser Goldfinches that terrorize my sunflowers each day about 1:30pm, as they get out of the heat of the day (105-110 degrees is a bit toasty for the little guys! ) Well, the hummingbirds don't like the Goldfinches one bit, and they will sit and "guard" the feeder as though the goldfinches want anything to do with the feeder. Then, on occasion, the hummingbirds will swoop over the goldfinches, or hover in front of them, until they flap off. I saw that for the first time just a couple weeks ago - HILARIOUS!!! Yup, they'll go after ANY BIRD near their feeder.

HAHAHA..maybe I should be more concern about losing my other birds HAHAHA I think I will put the humming bird feeder back near my house. I read in one of the post that some hummer aren't bothered by the wasp. I just don't understand why the little Hummer comes up to the feeder then takes off. The one day I was sitting on the deck and my little Hummer came so close to me I could hear the humming of his wings..I even heard his little chirping. He doesn't seem to be scared of humans. :)

I once saw a hummingbird fly into my dads garage and land on it while he was refilling it.Very neat!

beccy, try watching in the hour before dusk.

Also,this is the nesting season but it should be nearing an end,the hummers will start visiting the feeders more often soon,be patient beccy

Some red-headed sparrows drink from the ant cups on my feeders. When they are there, the hummers whirl away
