Step 2 : Answer to the question "Which president had a pet mockingbird he sometimes carried on his shoulder? "

Thomas Jefferson - America's third president had a particular affinity for mockingbirds. He kept several, but was especially fond of a male mockingbird he named Dick. According to the Presidential Pet Museum, a friend wrote that Jefferson cherished the bird \"with peculiar fondness, not only for its melodious powers, but for its uncommon intelligence and affectionate disposition.\" He would leave Dick's cage open in the White House, allowing the bird to fly around his office, and sometimes carried him on his shoulder. He is also said to have occasionally fed the bird by putting a piece of food in his mouth and allowing Dick to pluck it from between his lips. When a friend wrote to tell him of the first resident mockingbird at Monticello in 1793, Jefferson wrote back, \"I sincerely congratulate you on the arrival of the Mocking bird. Learn all the children to venerate it as a superior being in the form of a bird, or as a being which will haunt them if any harm is done to itself or its eggs.\":
