You might try hanging a second feeder right next to the one they are fighting
over. I generally feed several hundred hummers, and I have 3-4 feeders on each
shepherd hook, so if one gets kicked off they just go to the next one. I have
15 -16 feeders in a 16x16 foot area fenced off with panels to help protect from
raccoons and bears, and flowers planted in the area. I have 7-8 poles with
multiple hangers on each pole. If you go to “hummingbird hive” on you tube you
can see my general set up and see if it gives you any ideas.

I could use some advice from this group. Although I have multiple hummingbird
feeders in my yard - set up so they are not in view of each other - I have 2
male RT Hummers who have had a stand-off for 2 days over one feeder. They
started fighting over this feeder yesterday and were at it until the sun went
down. Early this morning, 5:00 am, they were back at it. Occasionally they
feed together in peace, but mostly they are fighting. Is there anything I can
do to separate them?
