The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Are Using A Talking Parrot To Announce Late-Round Draft Picks

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced that they will be using a parrot to announce their late-round draft picks.

The star of the show is a talking parrot named Zsa Zsa.

Sports Illustrated reports that the parrot will announce the team’s picks on the third day of the draft (rounds four through seven), accompanied by a person standing on a pirate ship at Raymond James Stadium on Saturday, April 28.

CNN’s Jill Martin was the first to report the stunt:

It's true: The NFL has announced that a parrot will deliver the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' selection to a pick announcer at the pirate ship in Raymond James Stadium on Day 3 of the NFL draft.
