Subject: [Tweeters] how far apart for a minimum for hummingbird feeders?

I'm getting so many hummingbirds at one of my feeders that I need a second
feeder. I've ordered it and it will arrive in a couple days. My question
is how far apart minimum (don't have a lot of space to hang from on my
small patio) can I hang them?

The other question is: I've a hummingbird feeder that they've never used -
even hanging red flowers around it and they sit in the tree above it. It's
attached to my window and that window is blocked so you can't see in or out
- so nothing scaring them from it from the inside (plus one of the
hummingbirds watches me and even will fly over and sit in a tree above me
when I'm waiting for the senior van service - so they're not scared of
me). I placed it back outside once they started to use the new feeder
(it's about 5-6 feet away, not over my patio). Even when they drink the
feeder on my patio dry quickly, don't want anything to do with the feeder
attached to my window. Any ideas how to get them to use it?
