We have a cabin in northern Minnesota and have a similar experience with our ruby throated hummingbirds. As the birds become more hungry and more numerous, I keep adding feeders, until I usually have about 15; that way the dominant ones (and they are not all males) can't guard all the feeders at once. I hate to admit how much sugar I go through, but the entertainment factor outweighs the effort to keep these little guys fed.

@jahnka1 Haha. We buy sugar in bulk as well. Worth every penny though.

Is sugar good for birds? The main cause of bee colony collapse is feeding bees sugar during transportation. Sugar will cause the baby birds to be born with brain damage. Read the book, "Dead Doctors don't Lie". by Dr Joel Wallach Use the sweet hert Setevia instead.

Are those the rare humming-vampire-birds? is that blood you are handfeeding them? That is so cool!

The hummingbirds LOOK light in weight but try holding a hummingbird out at arm's length and see how long YOU can do it. ;)
