Males Sparring
Males arrive first to stake their territory. When they find a habitat they think will appeal to arriving females, they can be fierce defenders. Food is critical in any habitat, so when two males find themselves rubbing elbows at the feeder there's sure to be some squabbling. Best to put out two feeders!
