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.

In addition to YouTube, Frank also shares their musical performances on Facebook, where the response has been overwhelmingly positive. People not only enjoy Frank’s guitar skills but also adore Tico’s charming singing along.

The comments on their videos reflect how much joy and distraction this unique duet brings to people, especially during challenging times like the pandemic. This musical collaboration between man and parrot has not only entertained but also uplifted spirits when it was needed the most and continues to do so today.
