They are so beautiful! But man, can they be mean when sugar water is involved. *grinning* My mom puts out LOTS of feeders on her porch. And they will talk and talk to each other (sounds like they're arguing) until they're done eating. Grins*
We have lots of hummers visit us up at the farm, and I never tire of watching them. Such amazing creatures in such tiny packages.
I was shocked to see how mean they can be with each other though. They waste more energy shooing each other off the feeder than they do feeding some days.
I read two great books written by Arnette Heidcamp, a lady who nurses sick hummers back to health in her home. One is called "A Hummingbird in my house. The story of Squeak" and the other is "Hummingbirds: my winter guests."

I highly recommend both books.
