OK, so do mockingbirds become a bonded pair after they mate?

I'm used to getting dive-bombed when I exit the car to come inside. I try and make it quick so I don't disturb mama or the babies. I thought there was only the mama bird making a fuss, but I had to be back and forth from my car this morning (where I park is right in front of the tree the nest is in) and today, when I was going back and forth unloading stuff, I realized that there was not one, but two birds raising hell.

They'd alternate flapping their wings at me and getting in the nest. They looked the same and I wouldn't have known it was two except I was getting flapped at by one while I was watching the other one actually in the nest. At one point they were both flying around diving at me and squawking.

Is this normal?
