That’s really species-specific. Anna’s are insanely aggressive at defending resources. Ruby-throats, on the other end of the spectrum, can be rather passive if they know the food source is reliable. It also depends on time of year. I have a video of over 40 ruby-throats of both sexes crowding around three feeders just before migration. No quibbling.
