Zsa Zsa, you're on the clock.

The NFL announced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have a parrot reveal a Day 3 selection from the pirate ship at Raymond James Stadium.


Whereas the Buccaneers typically feature a remote-controlled parrot perched on the ship and engaging with fans, the draft called for the real thing. Zsa Zsa, an eight-year old Catalina Macaw hailing from the Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary, will relay the Bucs' fourth-round selection to an announcer on Saturday.

The bird's involvement is just one of many creative initiatives being taken throughout the league for Day 3 selections. The 49ers will have Ron Howard, Chewbacca, stormtroopers and R2-D2 announce picks at Lucasfilm headquarters in San Francisco, in addition to the SFPAL'S 49ers prep flag football team.

If I'm a Bucs fan right now, my lack of faith in the Tampa front office has just been confirmed...

Not to derail the Buc thread but I hope we target CB, OL or LB in the 3rd.
