The attention has been so widespread that the park even created an instagram page ( ) for the parrot so fans can have access to all the Chico-related content their hearts desire. Footage of the bird singing Beyonces If I Were A Boy went viral on social media A singing parrot has been causing a stir at a wildlife park by belting out Beyonce s If I Were A Boy.
“Sounds better than Beyoncé,” read another. The bird named Chico can be seen at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park belting out Beyoncé’s 2008 hit ‘If I Were a Boy.’ ‘Poker Face’ and ‘Firework’ are among the other songs the bird can apparently sing. Guardian reported the bird maintained very good notes, singing the opening lines to the 2008 hit and visitors to the park were amazed. “Please, we need to see and hear more from Chico!!!” one person wrote on Facebook. Many times we have seen a parrot singing or mimicking but this one is a little special as this parrot is humming Beyonces popular number If I Were a Boy to almost perfection. A clip of the bird giving a marvelous rendition of Beyonce’s song went viral since it was uploaded on social media. Since Chico went viral, the park’s Facebook page has been swarmed by comments showing love to Chico and his bewildering talent, with fans around the world even making requests for what songs they want to hear next from the parrot. Yellow-crowned parrots are among the few birds in existence able to uncannily imitate and deliver human speech, and even contextualize it to an extent. “ After more than 25 years working with these amazing birds, they still never cease to amaze me,” said Lincolnshire Wildlife Park CEO Steve Nichols.“Who’d have ever thought that a parrot would cause social distancing problems due to being so popular.” As it turns out, Chico has a number of other tunes up his sleeve (er, wing), including “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga, “Firework” by Katy Perry, and “You Drive Me Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley, according to his previous owner.
