Question Hummingbird question ??

I've had hummingbird feeders in my bk yd for many yrs. I just this yr started making my own "nectar" which is simply 4 cups of water with one cup of sugar, bring it to a boil, let it cool, fill the feeder. It doesn't have to be tinted red, they love it just the same. Today, soon after putting fresh liquid in the feeder (books say to change it every 3-4 days), I saw 2 males and 1 female that were actually fighting over territory at the feeder hook!! Now keep in mind, there are two feeders with 6 holes each...that's PLENTY a room for 3 mini birdies...but when any one of the three was on them, it would chase the other two away. Wish I could have grabbed the camera quick enough to catch a zoom shot of the two males hovering over the feeder...like they were doing a stare off at one another!!! LOL I was just curious as to whether anyone else has researched these little birdies enough to know if they are indeed territorial and why they don't "SHARE". ha ha
