Hummingbird and Finch Will Share Space....Small Birds Will Share Space

 Recently, hummingbirds and finches will come visit my balcony regularly everyday.

Interestingly, I find that they will actually share the space, and sometimes they will come next to each other.  They will not mind each other at all.  Perhaps, they sense no danger.

Hummingbird and Finch

The funny thing is that hummingbird males are very territorial, but it is funny that they find other birds okay to share space with.  However, hummingbird males will compete with other males for space.

Finch Family

Above is the finch family that visits us everyday.  I think it is consists of: father, mother, 2 kids (don't know gender yet) and a older brother kid.  The older male kid sometimes will show up with family and sometimes will not.

Above is another example of sharing space.  

The two species are on the same feeder at same plant.  In general, small bird species will share space.  However, if you have two male hummingbirds, they will not share space.  They will chase each other away.
