Two Feeders, No Waiting by Ron Ostlund

Two Feeders, No Waiting is the third story in the Squirrel Chronicles series. With Seed Man out of the picture, the residents of the Community of Abner are forced to find an alternate source for seeds. They discover a feeder nearby but it’s closely guarded by a homeowner with a shotgun, a deranged cat named Sylvia, and a passion for a “birds only” feeder. It turns out Sylvia is not crazy but misunderstood and becomes an ally for the community in their battle against the one they call Bird Man because of his love of birds. After a series of feeder challenges Sparky, the community genius, brings the contest to a dramatic conclusion when he does a little electrical rewiring and blows the lights out in Bird Man’s house as well as the homes of his neighbors. Penny Sue informs Roscoe she has seen Doc and announces with pride they are expecting. Meanwhile, in the city of Centerline, Seed Man has just about had it with condominium living while Sweetheart, his wife, wishes they’d moved to the city years ago. It all comes together at the yearly celebration of SquirrelFest, as plans carefully developed after months of committee meetings are drastically changed by three big announcements.
