Footage of Chico singing an incredibly accurate rendition of Beyonce’s If I Were A Boy went viral after it was uploaded to social media last week.He hit all the right notes as he sang the opening lines to the 2008 hit by the 38-year-old US megastar while visitors chuckled in the background.
The talented bird can also mimic other pop tracks including Poker Face by Lady Gaga, Firework by Katy Perry and You Drive Me Crazy by Gnarls Barkley.Lincolnshire Wildlife Park CEO Steve Nichols said: ‘After more than 25 years working with these amazing birds, they still never cease to amaze me.’Who’d have ever thought that a parrot would cause social distancing problems due to being so popular.’
The Yellow Crowned Amazon is able to repeat human speech in a clear voice and can live often up to an astonishing 100 years old.They are native to tropical South America, Panama and Trinidad and Tobago where they feast on a diet of fruits, nuts, seeds and berries.
