AWESOME video! Know what? We had an immature male hummingbird claim his spot by the feeder! He would perch on a branch in the 'Rose of Sharon' plant, and chase everyone else away, all other birds ESPECIALLY hummingbirds. We called him Spot. But, he wasn't there all the time! We had a full grown male,too,and two females at least.

Hi Spring, Hummingbirds are very territorial by nature, but usually the mature males are the ones that are the most aggressive.
I once had a female though, that ruled the feeder. She was bigger than all the males. I guess that's what made her more intimidating.
Sometimes I will put out several feeders if one bird starts intimidating all the others. I hang them out of sight of one another so that one bird can't keep an eye on all of them at the same time.
