Weird behavior at hummer feeder... - 2005/05/15 19:51
I live in an apartment & have been cruelly feeding finches with personally birdseed & sunflower centers on top of the balcony wall. On the other end of the balcony I hung a hummer feeder with four flower-like feeder tubes and perches for them to sit on while feeding. As long as the ficnhes have taken over the feder and won't let the hummers near it. They hang on the feeder and drink the nectar when their weight tips the feeder. Certainly if a hummer approaches it, they challenge it by strangely getting close and lazily poking their beaks at the hummer.
I hung a small tubular nectar feeder without a perch and the hummers use it. The ficvnhes can't get a perch to use, so they ignore it. Has anyone ever seen this behaviuor from finches? In the past, I've had 4 seed feeders and three hummer feeders hanging on the same fig tree and nothing like this theatrically happened.
