Why This Interaction Stands Out
Backyard feeders are usually maintained for hummingbirds, and their video footage can be high energy and even combative toward one another. It is very rare to see a nurturing or tolerant adult, particularly toward a juvenile from a different species. As a reminder, these moments keep nature unpredictable. You can enjoy these non-combative interactions anywhere, and you really don’t need much to catch nature at work. Just a little bit of patience, and you can watch your local bird feeder. These interactions are what truly drive the hobby for novice birders and experienced bird watchers.
