On the secone picture they are both perched. I brew my own juice-- 1/2 part sugar to one part water, and boil it breifly on the stove. Late in the evening just before dark there is usually about 20 of them "swarming around the feeders. Quite a sight. The other day I was taking one of
the feeders down to fill it, and a Hummer flew in and landed on the perch while I was getting ready to bring it in the house. He acted like he didn't want me to take the feeder away. He
finally flew off.
