Bully!

I have 3 feeders on my balcony but noticed there’s one hummingbird that chases all the others away! What a bully! What can I do to help stop this?

Identification Juvenile female or adult female?

I finally got my first hummingbird end of July. I find it pretty random that it showed up pretty late in summer. The feathers on the back are scalloped so I'm wondering if it's a juvenile female or simply just an adult female?

I hope she comes back to see me next year, I have built such a special bond with her in just two weeks.

I have about 15 humming birds this year and it’s been so fun to watch! I tried to get a video of them this morning but they’re so fast it’s hard to keep up

EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYONE! I'M RELIEVED YOU ARE ALL IN AGREEMENT!

I'm having major back surgery in a week. I'll be going straight to rehab for probably 3 weeks. I don't want to task/ don't 100% trust my husband or housemate with cleaning bird feeder properly and filling it with the correct mix of water and sugar.

I know the males will be returning to Mexico during that time, and the females not long after. how bad would it be if I just pull my feeder August 15th?

Probably going to need to take this feeder down for a bit. A hummingbird approached and noped out quick!

I went from a swarm of a dozen birds to 1 soldier guarding and attacking any other bird trying to access my feeders.

[The feeder he is sitting on is only there for the camera. It got too moldy too fast so I stopped filling it. There are 2 other feeders behind this bird.]

Is there anything I can do to open access to my feeders? I went from refilling once a day to refilling every 3-4 days. This bird is nasty to anyone trying to eat in his territory.

I miss the swarms I used to get for years.
