A Mockingbird Named Gilderoy

We have a mockingbird. Or probably mockingbirds.  We get the biggest kick out of how they seem to be showing off--blaring their many different songs several volumes louder than the other birds, seeming to follow us around and singing in locations in close proximity to us so that we can hear them, puffing their chests all out while perched in prominent locations. Jenna has named him/them Gilderoy Lockhart, the cocky, self-obsessed Professor in the second Harry Potter book. 


We make a comments like, "Oh brother.  There goes Gilderoy."  "Did you hear Gilderoy?!  I've never heard THAT song before?!"  We shake our heads in mock disgust at his crowd-pleasing ways.  We all really think he/they is just awesome and beautiful.  And we love calling him Gilderoy.
