Here's the last of the hummingbird action footage, selected from over 500 clips shot in May, 2018. The little birdies spend a lot of their time defending their food sources as you can see here, and the king (or queen) of the feeder can change from day to day as hummingbird populations and nesting efforts shift around. Males and females can be equally aggressive, and even the larger species (such as Anna's Hummingbird) aren't immune from attack by smaller birds such as Allen's Hummingbird males and females.
As spring progresses, more natural nectar sources become available for a short time and the feeder sees a lot less traffic, but that doesn't stop the birds from maintaining their territory and chasing off any other birds that try to feed there.
These tiny birds weight less than 1/4 ounce (2.5 - 4.5 grams is typical) but are very aggressive and surprisingly tough. Even though these fights appear pretty rough, the birds seldom hurt each other physically.
Filmed with a Sony FS700RH at 240fps and GoPro Hero 5 Black at 120fps, the resulting action is slowed down by 10x when played back at 24fps.
The soundtrack is "Dark Harbor" from the "Mission Control" CD by Technician (yours truly), MP3 album and single track available on iTunes at: itunes.apple.com/us/album/mission-control/id970180801 and CDBaby: store.cdbaby.com/cd/technician18 Full artist discography and CDs available at HTTP://technician.jcmdi.com
