Seriously.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will apparently ask for the help of a winged friend during the final day of the 2018 NFL Draft.
NFL announces that a parrot — yes, a parrot — will deliver Bucs’ third-day draft picks to an announcer on the pirate ship at Raymond James Stadium.

Important Bucs draft update: The parrot delivering Sunday’s picks to pirate ship at Raymond James is named Zsa Zsa, and she’s from the Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary. Adjust your mock drafts accordingly.

It's not the first time the NFL has called on the animal community to spice up the latter part of the three-day event.
An orangutan made several smart fourth-round picks for the Indianapolis Colts in last year's draft.
