They are downright aggressive - and bossy! One of them will guard the feeder from a nearby tree and dive-bomb any other hummingbird that comes in to eat. And then two of them will guard at the same time, so when a third comes to the feeder, Kenny Loggins suddenly starts playing and there’s dogfights right next to my deck.
And don’t let the feeder go empty. They will complain LOUDLY. One of them saw me in the kitchen and came up to the window and hovered there, staring at me like, “why is this feeder empty, bro?”
Yeah they will absolutely harass you if the feeder is low. I’ve had them literally get right up in my face before, chirping and talking shit repeatedly.

I call mine ‘heather’ because one day I just had to ask ‘what’s your damage?’ after a particularly noisy squabble.
