This is Tico and his human Frank Maglio.
They chill in Florida. Frank plays the guitar, Tico sings along better than most karaoke attempts at these classic rock and roll jams.
Apparently this newfound musical duo was launched during the pandemic lockdown.
“One day I was playing guitar back in March, during the second week of lockdown,” began Maglio, “and Tico started screaming like he wanted attention, so instead of throwing the towel in, I grabbed my guitar … and sat down by him and started playing, and I was like, ‘I think he’s singing.’”
Tico’s talents are featured on Maglio’s YouTube channel which has brought him and his feathered frontman some degree of fame. They have been featured live on Kelly Clarkson’s talkshow and a recent tweet from NBA player Rex Chapman, (Hornets, Heat, Suns) threw thousands of more fans their way.

Tico has quite a range, but seems to prefer classic and contemporary rock and roll. His ‘set-list’ includes, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Guns n’ Roses, Bon Jovi, U2, Coldplay, and The Beatles.
The bird has got taste. And his owner has some decent guitar chops as well.
