Very cool! We have three hummingbird feeders. The little devils are territorial, all right, and they always finish the nectar in one before starting the next. They frequently perch on the feeders.
None have ever seemed in the least interested in letting us approach them. In fact, as warreagl said, they will act as menacing as possible if you get near a nest.
The noise they make in flight is a little like a bumblebee's--it sounds a little threatening as well.
And no, I'm not afraid of them.
