Miles Phillips, a seven-year-old boy, and his father are the duo behind the viral song Eastern Rosellas. In an interview with Guardian Australia's Rafqa Touma, Miles explained that the inspiration for the catchy hit came from a holiday at Raymond Island.
'I was feeding the birds seed,' Miles said. 'There was pigeons, there was lorikeets ... but the main bird that stood out to me was the eastern rosella.'
From a holiday to a viral hit
The song, which gained widespread attention online, was later covered by Australian musician Ben Lee. The story of how a boy's own song about eastern rosellas went viral has captured the interest of many.
