Rogue parrot attacks players during Brazilian U-15 soccer game, then comes back and does it again

A large parrot attacked teenage soccer players during a Flamengo vs. Ceará Brazil Under-15 Cup match in Rio de Janeiro, halting play multiple times.

Two words: parrot attacks.

It got interesting.

As Flamengo moved the ball to a defender, a very large parrot was suddenly more on top of him than any Ceará player (which means it's not going to be fun when the coach is going over video of this match).

That's hilarious and kind of terrifying at the same time.

If pterodactyls were still cruising around the Earth, they would absolutely be dive-bombing 13- and 14-year-olds' soccer games, and it would look something like that.

You'd think a bird that lives in Brazil would be used to soccer games, seeing as they put soccer players on the money down there, but this one must've had its nest bulldozed to make way for a pitch or something, because it hates the beautiful game.

After terrorizing that one kid, the bird reportedly went after a few other teenage footballers to the point that the referee had to put the match on hold.

But once play resumed, the bird returned and again brought the game to a halt.

Against all odds, Flamengo overcame the multiple avian invasions to win the match 1-0.
