We have hummingbirds every summer. We hang 2 or 3 feeders from the porch roof and are always amazed that they will come so close to us. Many times we will be sitting out on the porch and they might flutter at the feeders and sometimes they chase one another and it feels as though we might just get dive bombed as they race over our heads! We've also identified their landing space...they don't perch when the drink from the feeder but instead, take sips and then fly to a nearby apple tree to rest.
