My entry to @melinda010100’s #featheredfriends community is a dove that visits the back yard and is not pleased to share the bird seeds with the chipmunk.
The lovely dove on the back deck checking out the scenery.
The dove is looking to see if there are any seeds on the lawn. I put out seeds everyday for the birds and chipmunk.
The dove was not impressed with Chippy filling his face with the seeds.
Chippy doesn’t care and ignores the evil eye the dove is giving him. At one point the normally gentle dove raised his wings to try and drive Chippy away. In retaliation Chippy made a quick motion towards the dove. Both stood their ground.
Chippy continues filling his mouth and finally has a face full and leaves the rest of the seeds for the dove.
The chipmunk carries extra seeds in his mouth as shown here and will take it back to his home to save for later.
This is how the chipmunk’s cheek looks normally.
I think at the end of the day, the strange bedfellows, the dove and the chipmunk, ate enough seeds to keep them satisfied for the day.

Nice shots of the duo... to tell the visibly story 😊
Thanks @manorvillemike. I’m glad you liked the duo. 😊
The chipmunks drive me crazy, they steal the birdseed constantly. But I have a family of four Merlin’s that moved onto our farm in Spring and I noticed a decrease in chipmunks . I think they became bird food. 😃
I actually love the little chipmunks. I put the seeds out on the grass for them to eat too. We don’t have that many here.
@redheadpei, Their Observation, Research and Exploration looks adorable. Stay blessed.
Thanks so much @chireerocks.
Have a wonderful week and blessings! 😊
Welcome and thank you so much for your kind and blessed response. 🙂
Thanks Pix @pixresteemer!❤️
How funny at least they both left content at the end of the day that's the main thing 👍
Haha @kohsamui99, I think they were both satisfied. 😊
Haha , that is the main thing it would have been fun to watch and were was Peppy 😊
I haven’t seen Peppy for about a week. Maybe he will show up one of these days.
I am sure he will he knows his always welcome there 😊
Yes, I would like to see him hang around but he might have greener pastures to explore.😀
Yep would be nice to see Peppy but like you say he has many undiscovered areas on his agenda 😊
That looks like just the sort of goings-on that I see in my backyard! Great photos of the two of them! Thanks for posting this to the #featheredfriends community!

Thanks Melinda. Yes I did the same when it was passed to me. I knew you could be trusted to pass it on quickly.
In my hurry to pass it on I didn’t thank you for your kind comment on my post and the tip.❤️
Hahaha! You are like me... I couldn't wait to get rid of it.... I mean, pass it on! Too much responsibility!
👍
Lovely story and cool images illustrating your very enjoyable post, Jo 😁
As long as you put enough seeds out no one will stay hungry I believe, but Chippy seems not to believe that it's enough for two - just have a look at his cheeks ... he looks like he wants to say "what's up? I'm hungry!" 🤣
Hope you're having a great day, dear Jo 🤗
Cheers and !BEER

Hi Johann. I’m happy you enjoyed the post. The chipmunks are cute little critters and are becoming quite tame. Their cheeks are hilarious. They are like a lunchbox carrying extra food for later.
When they are making chip-chip sounds the cheeks puff up then too.
Have a good night and thanks so much for reblog, tip and goodies dear Johann .🤗
Yeah, I liked it a lot and Chippy looks so cute and funny with his full cheeks. You have shown such photos before and they were always great fun 😁
I have seen Hamsters doing the same, but I prefer Chippy 😉
Have a great Tuesday and a wonderful rest of the week, dear Jo 🤗
Cheers and !BEER

Nice photography.
Thanks @kamrunnahar!
Have a great week. 😊
Wow the pictures are so good and the animal's were so cute. I hope to see chipmunks in real life but for now I will just rely on the pictures.
Thanks for visiting and your kind comments Mary @werty23.
Yes you are most welcome to enjoy seeing them in my photos and maybe some day see a chipmunk in real life.
Have a great rest of the week.😊
I would love to see the clip of them where the dove raised his wings and tried to drove Chippy away. A million-dollar scene surely haha!
We also have a couple of dove birds in my garden trees where they have build nest but to my surprise, they are very much active than me :D and makes me hard to get any clear shot of them.
Beautiful shot @redheadpei :)
It was funny seeing the dove raise his wings as I had never seen them be aggressive before. It happened so fast I was unable to get a shot. Dove are nervous and it is difficult to get a photo of them.
Haha! I had never witnessed them as an aggressive creature as well. Maybe the circumstances of which the dove only knew :D
Amazing encounter and all goes well at the end. 😀
Thanks Neli @nelinoeva. They were quite the pair.😊

I knew hey liked to stuff their faces, but those comparative shots of empty cheeks and full were pretty telling. Seems like Chippy can carry a heck of a lot of seeds.
