Two blue jays came in from the right. The first one landed on my feeder. The other one landed in a nearby tree. The first one ate a couple of peanuts. Seeing this the other one approached to join her. But she spread out her wings and tail feathers and covered up the rest of the peanuts. They repeated this a second time and then the second bird flew off.
