Yes. I have a pair of birds whose territory is my garden. They were juveniles in 2009 and in the spring of that year they both fought like lions to claim my yard. They have been together for 3 years now. The male was injured by my cat. I rescued him but he was left crippled in one leg. For about a month he was clearly very ill and in pain but his mate stayed with him, defending their territory and managing to raise one chick on her own. He is still crippled but his mate has not gone looking for the bigger better deal. All the reading I have done says they mate for life.
