Males are the ones I've seen fight it out.I don’t get it. They fight like little siblings at my feeder too. But I’ve seen other feeders get absolutely swarmed by them—presumably all getting along. Do I need to put some Xanax in my feeder mix???
I was over at a friends house watching their HB feeder. There were wasps guarding it and chasing off the hummingbirds. Hummingbirds kept approaching but would turn tail and run when the wasps came after them. Never seen that before.
Use a feeder that requires the bird's long beak to reach the liquid. I have two of these and never see wasps feeding. Fill the center with plain water to stop the ant brigade as well:Is there anyway to keep wasps off the hummingbird feeders?
