Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743. As if being President isn't awesome enough, he was also an author, inventor, lawyer, and architect. He also loved birds. His favorite bird was Dick the Mockingbird.
Dick was Jefferson's a constant companion and whenever they were alone, Jefferson would open the cage and let Dick fly about the room. Dick would eat from Jefferson's lips and would sit on the couch waiting while Jefferson napped.
It was a birdmance for the ages.
