You could be right Bhf-they’re the most possessive little guys I’ve ever run across!!

I am thinking it is the Hummingbirds way of saying that “the feeder is his property, keep your hands off!”

Hummingbirds are such interesting little guys! I know the “ticking” noise mine makes at the feeder, and the loud buzz of his wings when he passes by at close range is unmistakable (scared the heck out of me the first time-I imagined a GIGANTIC bee :-) , but I’ve now discovered a third sound. It’s especially noticeable when he’s in the tree in the back yard. I’m not even sure how to describe it; just a basic chatter I guess. I like to think it means he’s happy with his surroundings! (He’s now trying to guard 2 feeders at opposite ends of the yard-quite comical to watch!!
