Miles Phillips and his dad are the duo behind the viral song Eastern Rosellas. When Guardian Australia's Rafqa Touma spoke to Miles, he said 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.' How a boy’s own song about eastern rosellas went viral and was covered by Ben Lee
