Birds: Johnny, Johnny, Johnny and Tanya

Not sure why, but Marie has a thing with the West County Mall dove.  She lovingly named it, Johnny.  Actually, she tends to name a lot of birds that she sees, Johnny.  (It should be noted that neither Chris nor I know a Johnny, work with a Johnny, or are related to a Johnny.  We have no idea where she heard the name.)  Knowing her fondness of birds, Meemaw bought Marie 2 small figurines of birds.  Of course, their names are Johnny and Johnny.  So when Marie saw a turtledove making a nest* at our house, she named it Johnny.  I couldn't do it.  Too many Johnnys to keep track of.  I told her that this bird's name was Tanya, the turtledove (don't judge, it was the first "T" girl name I could think of).  So hopefully, the Johnnys have ended and we can introduce new names to her.

*This is the second turtledove nest in the same spot this year.  Either the first turtledove told their friends how wonderful our house was to raise a family, or "Tanya" is one fertile turtledove and is the same bird as before.
