This parrot is a very good singer

A singing parrot has been wowing visitors at a wildlife park by belting out hit tunes by popstar Beyonce.
Chico, a nine-year-old yellow-crowned amazon parrot, can regularly be seen breaking into song at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park.
He has been amazing customers with his performances at the Friskney attraction since arriving at the sanctuary 18 months ago.
Footage of Chico singing an incredibly accurate rendition of Beyonce’s ‘If I Were A Boy’ has gone viral since being uploaded on social media.
He can be heard hitting all the right notes as he sings the opening lines to the 2008 hit by the 38-year-old US megastar while visitors chuckle in the background.
The talented bird can also mimic other pop tracks such as ‘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.”
Regular visitor Graham Gardner, 54, of Boston, said Chico had proved a star attraction at the park since he arrived.
He added: “People can’t get enough of him. There’s always a line of people waiting to see him – it’s like he’s an actual pop star at times.
“He’ll just break into song randomly and it leaves people in hysterics.
“He’s actually got a very good voice. Maybe Simon Cowell might get in touch, you never know.” Read more Lincolnshire Live.
