Tampa Bay Buccaneers plan to use a parrot to announce their fourth-round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft.
The Bucs announced on Monday that an eight-year-old Macaw called Zsa Zsa will fly onto a pirate ship in the Raymond James Stadium with the Tampa Bay's fourth-round pick in her beak.
Zsa Zsa will be accompanied by Stephanie Dripps, a caretaker at the Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary, which has rescued over 750 parrots.
The NFL's 32 teams will gather at the Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium this weekend to allocate the best American college football players.
A number of teams have opted for unusual methods of announcing their fourth-round picks on Saturday, the third day of the draft.
The San Francisco 49ers' picks will be announced by Star Wars characters including Chewbacca, Stormtroopers and RD-D2, while members of the United States men's Olympic curling team will announce the Minnesota Vikings' selections.
