Oh yeah. Male guarded for about an hour. He chased off everything except his supposed younguns. Had a female guard for a bit and let her youguns visit.Watch close. There will be a male guarding the feeder, perhaps 2 or 3 males. It/they will allow the females to feed, but attack another male.
At least, that's the way it is around my feeder.
The young males have striations of color on their necks. Can still catch a glimpse of pink or orange on them. We have an outlying feeder that a young male has taken over. He isn’t stupid, took the easy fortress by not even fighting for it. It’s his now.
