Hubby and I have spent a lot of time the last few days
watching the hummingbirds play “king of the mountain”. They sure don’t share
with each other very good. Every year there is one that appoints himself the keeper
of the food. We have three feeders a distance from each other. But he won’t
share any of it. We have seen the bully knock another hummingbird right out of
the air. That poor fellow sat there on the ground for about 5 minutes before he
took flight again. I guess there are
bullies in nature, too.
Who'd have guessed they'd be so aggressive?

ReplyDeleteSeriously, you are on YouTube, too???!! I've created a monster! You ROCK, Mom! Love the video!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting. I'd heard these birds can be very aggressive and even violent. (Ouch!) I'd hate to get struck with that beak.
