A parrot that can out-sing Robert Plant and Axl Rose is melting hearts, blowing minds and breaking the internet
Meet Tico the parrot, the internet’s new favourite rock star.
A beautiful bird with a gift for singing along to its owner Frank Maglio’s covers of classic songs by Led Zeppelin, Guns N’ Roses, The Beatles, Van Halen and more, Tico has become an online sensation.
Maglio has been posting videos of his gifted feathered friend online since April but the duo’s YouTube channel received a nice traffic boost when former basketball star Rex Chapman shared their fabulous version of Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven with his 1.1 million Twitter followers on January 18, leading to the clip receiving more than three million views.
