Meet Crystal

This is the female that Rocket spars with all day long. I've dubbed her Crystal Meth because of the frenetic and ultra nervous demeanor she has when comes in expecting to get attacked.

This is Sparky

I'm not sure whether this is a juvenile or an adult with some plumage deformities. He's another regular visitor at the feeder and will get into thirty second hovering standoffs with Rocket. This isn't the prettiest of the visitors but he/she just won't take any of Rocket's crap.

Rocket J. Headpecker

He's still around defending that feeder passionately. He's decided that the best time to try to intimidate me is when I change the sugar water every couple of days. I've been pecked two more times and had him hover within a couple of inches of the back of my head another couple of times. I'm just waiting for him to try to pierce one of my ears...
