So glad you got to experience a taste of the hummer humor. They carry on so, but it is all very good-natured, like a game. Perhaps next year they will tell their friends about your yard and you will have a larger population. They are such fun to watch. They always make me smile.
They are funny. I can't believe how tiny the female is. Maybe she isn't too much smaller but thinner. I'm so glad that I didn't bring the feeder in, when I didn't see the male for a week. I hope they talk and I have more next year. I will be happy to buy more feeders for them. :)
