YouTuber goes viral after rocking out with singing pet bird YouTube: Frank Maglio Tico & the ManYouTuber Frank Maglio has gone viral for playing classic rock tracks on guitar while his pet bird Tico sings along with whatever melody it thinks appropriate. The internet absolutely loves adorable, amusing, or talented animals, from dogs that go \u201cowa owa\u201d sparking a global meme, to cats that will willingly partake in a pampering session. One of the latest pets to get the spotlight is a Yellow-headed Amazon Parrot called Tico who demonstrated his singing talent to his surprised owner Frank Maglio just after the global health crisis hit. Amazed at Tico\u2019s talent, Frank uploaded a couple of videos to his Facebook page, and it became such a hit that he began a YouTube channel where he uploads regular musical numbers with the songful bird. Yellow-headed Amazons are known for their impressive vibrato vocals, often described as operatic, however, Tico clearly has a penchant for rock music, and together Frank and Tico have covered a number of classic tracks including Stairway to Heaven, Don\u2019t Fear the Reaper, and Psycho Killer. Now Frank and Tico are getting the viral treatment they clearly deserve. On Twitter, one person shared their cover of Don\u2019t Fear the Reaper and wrote \u201cobsessed with this guy who just uploads videos of him playing classic rock riffs while his birb freestyles vocals.\u201d Almost 200,000 people have liked the tweet at the time of writing. https:\/\/twitter.com\/rtnordy\/status\/1397656482020216832?s=20 Twitter users absolutely adored Tico\u2019s skills, with one person responding \u201cThat bird has better pitch and timing than some singers (human) I\u2019ve played with,\u201d while another added, \u201cit\u2019s a million yeses from me, you\u2019re going through to the live final.\u201d Millions of people have watched Frank\u2019s videos, and currently, the musical duo has more than 100,000 subscribers and counting. Many are especially impressed by the fact that Tico actually appears to be singing in tune and even creating his own harmonies. Although Tico doesn\u2019t accurately copy the lyrics and vocals of each track, his own interpretation is definitely just as impressive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
