Many of our favorite songs and poems feature mockingbirds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMockingbirds have been companions to humans for centuries. Many Native American myths and legends feature mockingbirds, often teaching humans to speak. Thomas Jefferson's mockingbird, \"Dick\", was the first White House pet. John James Audubon's portrait of a rattlesnake raiding a mockingbird's nest sparked outrage in the world of art. Atticus Finch's somber warning to his children, \"Remember, it's a sin to kill a Mockingbird,\" is known throughout the world. Some jazz musicians credit mockingbirds with teaching them a four-note call that says, \"Break's over.\" And mockingjays--a hybrid between jabberjays and mockers--are a symbol of the rebel cause in the Hunger Games trilogy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut in the early 1900s the mocker was plummeting toward extinction.
