Hummingbird society seems to involve lots of belligerent posturing and bullying. Or, it may just be this species, which I believe is Rufous. The same scene plays out over and over again. An older or larger one already on the perch just tucks it's head in and glares daggers at the newcomer. And the newcomer can't commit to a landing until it knows if it's going to be attacked. So it just kind of hovers there, hopping on and off, until an unspoken truce seems to take hold. Then they can both feed in peace, or until more trouble roars in. They're like little sugar powered attack planes.
