The pandemic brought about significant changes in our lives, with many viewing it as a negative experience. However, for one man and his parrot, it turned out to be a remarkably positive turn of events.
Frank Maglio Jr and his wife, Gina, found themselves stuck at home like so many others, wondering how to fill their time. Frank had always enjoyed playing the guitar but often lacked the time to indulge in this passion. The pandemic offered him the chance to pick up his guitar and start strumming again, leading to a delightful discovery about his pet parrot’s hidden talent.
Their Amazon parrot named Tico, whom they had adopted from an elderly British woman, turned out to be a music enthusiast. Tico showed a keen interest in Frank’s guitar playing, and one day, while Frank was playing “Stairway to Heaven,” Tico joined in with his own rendition. Impressed by this musical collaboration, Gina started recording their sessions.
The couple decided to share the video on social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube. This marked the beginning of a new YouTube channel featuring Frank’s guitar duets with Tico. The channel quickly gained popularity, attracting over 250,000 subscribers who eagerly awaited each new video.
