Thank you ! Distancing feeders is impossible, but glad to know it's their normal behaviour. Will concentrate on quality feeding.That is their common behavior. You might try spacing the 2 feeders apart by quite a distance and see if that changes anything. Otherwise, this is what male hummers are known to do
they say to set up 2nd feeder or plants somewhere that can't be seen from the first feeder.
The fighting may not be all hostile, I think some of it's social. Last year it seemed like the fledged siblings from the same family on my property spent a lot of time play-fighting and goofing around. If you have anywhere to put flowers in containers or the ground that can spread them out more. I have some flower pots on my front steps and a few more on the back steps, that should separate them.
