I have&nbsp;two hummingbird feeders hanging on my porch. I thought the two little macho males would share, but no, they fight over one,&nbsp;then when it's empty, they go fight over the other one. One&nbsp;of the feeders seems to empty really&nbsp;quickly, I couldn't figure out how or why. There's no leak, and I know the&nbsp;h'birds don't suck that&nbsp;fast.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small">Yesterday I got my answer. I was&nbsp;watching them out&nbsp;of my kitchen window. Suddenly, there&nbsp;was a&nbsp;very bright yellow bird who had landed on this feeder. He perched on top of one of the &quot;flowers&quot; bent over (literally upside down) and helped himself to my little guys' nectar! Cheeky bastard, lol. I guess his size intimidates the h'birds,&nbsp;because they don't challenge him - they sit on a tree branch and bitch at him.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small">I guess I'll just have to fill it up more often...&nbsp;</span></p> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/GregL/29572/#c_271357 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/GregL/29572/#c_271357 <p><span style="font-size: small">This actually takes place in my front yard.
