They are playing, I've watched them for years. They play like that here for a month or so, Mid July - at least Mid to late August. They are still at it, watch them, one hovers few inches away from the feeder another comes up and they fly after each other, I've had as many as 8 flying and playing like that.
The most we've had at one time was 28 hummingbirds....that we could count. There might have been more that just wasn't up around our feeders.
We are currently going through about 2 qts daily!
I'm beginning to wonder if instead of being in the bird family that maybe they are more inclined to be in the swine family!
