There’s always a bully

It doesn’t matter if you’re at school or playing on the swing sets at the park. And apparently, it doesn’t matter whether you’re human or not either!
I put my hummingbird feeder up today, and about 20 minutes later I went outside and was greeted by a full fledged war! Man - those little things are cute, but nasty!
The bully is actually the least colourful of the bunch - maybe he’s got a complex? There are four little spouts - enough for everyone - can’t we all just get along?
Apparently not. This little guy was reduced to sitting on the clothesline in hopes he’d eventually get a turn. The poor little doodle 
We don’t have the pre-mixed nectar available in our little town, so I just made my own. From what I’ve heard, you have to be careful about the mixture as to not damage their little livers.
To mix your own sugar syrup for hummingbird feeders, you should have a ratio of one part white sugar to four parts water. And if the little buggers don’t have it empty every time you turn around, make sure and give it a good rinse out twice a week (don’t use soap though) and add new sugar syrup.

They fight indeed. We have numerous feeders and they fight constantly even tho there are feeders that are empty. They just fight. It’s kind of fun to watch though.
I remembered the kid who bullied me in school. It was the same s the hummingbirds.
