I had read somewhere that Andrew Jackson's parrot was kicked out of his funeral because he couldn't stop yelling curse words, lol.

That is really interesting! You always hear about presidents' dogs, cats or really exotic pets but not really about birds. Thanks!

Cool, I was just wondering about that this morning when they were talking on the news about the new puppy coming to the White House with the Obamas.
