A parrot disrupted an under-15 football match in Brazil after flying onto the pitch and attacking players during play, forcing a brief halt to the game. The bird then returned for a second attack later in the match, catching players and officials off guard once again. The unusual incident has drawn attention as a lighthearted example of wildlife interfering with sport.

The report does not specify the exact location, date or names of the players or club involved, focusing instead on the novelty of the repeated parrot attacks. It follows a run of similar animal-interruption stories in sport, such as a squirrel disrupting an MLB game between the Baltimore Orioles and Detroit Tigers, which the article references in passing.
