Bird brain

Do hummingbirds think each of the yellow mock-flowers on a feeder is a different bloom? A different flavour? Like dogs, they move in circles before they settle.
Would I go to the fridge for a drink and never notice that the milk container, the water jug, the juice bottle, all liquids are juice?

I go to the gas station pump to choose four different blends.
Is it all from the same tank, the same thing?
Is this actually a choice of anything but push buttons?

Hummers spend no time thinking about this.

I have.
