"Miles Phillips greets me at the door of his house with a high five. His hair
is spiked and a tiny, colourful parrot badge is pinned to his blazer collar.
The two huge cameras being lugged behind me by two producers don’t faze him.
This seven-year-old is a rock star.
Last week, Miles’ father, Joel Phillips, posted a “full band version” of his
son’s song heralding the eastern rosella – a bright parrot native to
south-eastern Australia.
The video has more than 1.5m views on Instagram and TikTok and almost 3,000
comments – which all read something like: CAN’T STOP LISTENINGGGGG😍🦜🎶.
It is a produced version of a song the pair filmed themselves singing at their
family keyboard and uploaded at the end of June. Now it’s live on Spotify and
has been played on several radio stations."
