Thanks Kili! Teddy Roosevelt had a parrot too, a Hyacinth Macaw named "Eli Yale"

Not an American President, but Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of England, had a blue and gold macaw.

Other famous parrot owners include:

Dolly Madison - rescued a parrot from the burning White House during the War of 1812.
Martha Washington - "Polly the Parrot", George Washington is said to have hated the bird.

J. F. Kennedy - owned a canary and budgies Bluebell and Marybell.
Lyndon B. Johnson - owned lovebirds.
Rutherford B. Hayes - owned canaries.
Warren G. Harding - owned canaries.
Ulysses S. Grant - owned an unspecified parrot.
Calvin Coolidge - owned canaries and mockingbirds.
Grover Cleveland - owned canaries.

N.Y. governor Cuomo and wife own an Umbrella cockatoo.

King George V - owned Charlotte, an African Grey.
Queen Victoria - owned Coco, an African Grey.
Dutchess of Lennox - owned an African Grey
Henry VIII - owned an African Grey, which I hope ended up better off than Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard.
