this guy is guarding the feeders like a mad man! Does anyone have any suggestions, I have three feeders in the backyard in hopes of feeding the female Anna's (they stay over winter here). This guy is seriously protecting the whole backyard. I have another feeder in the front that another male is guarding as well. Not that I don't enjoy them, he's fantastic - divebombing the other hummers and squeaking/chirping at us constatly, no wonder he needs to eat so often!

They share during the summer, when I have alot of their flowers in bloom, but when it gets cold, I tend to get one that stays in the yard, sitting, watching and waiting for another to try and take a sip of their "feeder".
